Last night's birthday party was just the beginning. Tonight Brian surprised me with a delicious Chilean meal that really brought back a lot of good memories. For dinner he treated me and his family to Pastel de Choclo which is the national dish of Chile. It's very similar to a Shepard's Pie, except the meats are covered in a puree of corn instead of mashed potatoes. He really did a great job with it!
For dessert we had Torta de Mil Hojas, which is my very favorite thing ever!! It's layers of crispy pastry stacked high with a caramel sauce and nuts between each layer. The recipe called for walnuts but Brian used almonds because we had them on hand. I loved it! It's super rich and super sweet.
I'm very grateful for the hard work Brian put into creating my special birthday dinner. He really does spoil me.
Awesome! this put a smile on my face! i'm glad you had a super fun bithday
