Last Sunday was my 6th year anniversary with Darren. Unfortunately, we couldn’t really celebrate too much given that Darren had a final exam to study for the following week. So what I did was surprise him with a steak dinner and dessert.

I’m honestly pretty proud of how I made the steak and the pasta salad. The steak was pretty simple as I just marinade it with teriyaki sauce and grilled it. The pasta salad was more of an experiment and it came out really delicious. I cooked some shrimp and the rotini pasta and seasoned it with garlic powder, and even added a little butter. Then I just topped it on some baby spinach and tomatoes and squeezed a little lime juice over it. It tasted better than I expected. I was a happy panda.

Then for dessert, I decided to try to make chocolate mousse for the first time.

I’m pretty proud at how this came out as well. I should’ve made this a little earlier during the day so that it sets in the fridge a little longer, but even though it was a little more like pudding, it still tasted delicious. I just love cooking and baking!

On Wednesday evening, I went and saw The Avengers with Darren and Alvis and then saw it again last night with Chris and his friend, Dan. The movie was kickass! Hence why I didn’t mind seeing it twice. :P I honestly would have to say this is the best superhero film by far. Well done, Joss Whedon.
