Yesterday's Mofo prompt was
Birthday Bash. Would you rather make something or have someone else make something for your birthday? I haven't ever known anyone who really knows how to cook, so I've always just cooked myself. I think I'm one of those people. You know, the one always in the kitchen, slapping away hands trying to help or sneak a taste. I don't really have a signature, favorite dish that I always want on my birthday. To be honest I don't even think I have a favorite dish. I have many favorites, and I'm the worst at choosing favorites.
Last night I was craving a spicy red curry, so that's what I made. I would definitely love a bowl of spicy noodles with tofu on my birthday! And actually I probably would be really touched if someone made it for me!

| I used Taste of Thai red curry paste, and added a little peanut butter for extra pizazz! |
If it were my birthday I would probably want a vegan chocolate cake, but I would also be just as happy with this ice cream. I have a bit of an obsession with this frozen mousse from So Delicious. Although I love the chocolate chip and the peanut butter swirl, the fruit flavors are my favorite. The mousse is very similar in texture to cocowhip, so it just tastes amazing with fruit. I hope I can find the strawberry swirl for my actual birthday!!
Birthday ice cream is a great treat!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have the birthday cake Nada Moo ice cream for my actual birthday!
DeleteDamn, that spicy curry looks sooooo good.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good!! I love that red curry paste!
DeleteLooks like a perfect birthday dinner and dessert!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe I'll make that for my real birthday!
DeleteWhy choose? If it's my birthday I'll have cake AND ice cream!
ReplyDeleteThose noodles look really good.
Ha, excellent point. I'm sure I'll actually have both!
DeleteI’m with student turned doc above, definitely cake AND ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI love adding nut butter into soups and stews, that nutty flavor and added heft makes them more satisfying and delicious. I actually made a quick soup the other night it was rainy and cold- i used tomato paste, some canned chopped tomatoes, orzo, zucchini, veg stock, spinach, and a gob of peanut butter. Really tasty for minimal effort!

That's what I love about soups is that you can get such great flavor with little effort. I've become really obsessed with adding peanut butter to soups an sauces. It just makes them better!
DeleteI would also go with cake and ice cream! Chocolate cake with the strawberry swirl mousse would be so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat souns like my dream combo. If I could find the strawberry swirl that would be so amazing!!
DeleteOooh that meal looks so good! I agree with everyone, cake AND ice cream would be delicious! I'm normally a cake girl but when I saw the peanut butter chocolate tart at the bakery I knew it had to be my birthday treat!
ReplyDeleteI think I would pick a peanut butter chocolate tart too! I think I might go to a bakery and get a vegan treat for my birthday!
DeleteWow! That curry looks delicious! I have yet to find the So Delicious mouse desserts, but I agree with the vegan chocolate birthday cake idea....
