Should I Make My Mother Dinner For Her Birthday?

She'll be 55 and I don't know what else to get her, and she never spoils herself. She LOVES lobster, shrimp, and any seafood... And since I have extra cash for once, I thought I could make a menu like this:

3 lobster tails with homemade butter parsley sauce(one for her, Dad, and me)
pasta with homemade alfredo sauce with shrimp
cheesecake with raspberry sauce

Is this a good gift for a mom? I figured it's cheaper than taking them out to Red Lobster, and I even plan to clean up the mess!

 

yea! Sounds wonderful!

 

Wow! I wish I was nice enough to do that for my mom.

 

I say yes do it!

 

absolutely!!!!

I love cooking for people, and they're always appreciative. It's a great, personal, relatively cheap (vs restaurant) gift.

 

absolutely I haven't met anyone who wouldn't like to be treated to a meal without the hassel of going out . And it's just so nice of you . Especially with the menu you've got planned! Man...wish I could cook. That's why I've never made my mom dinner...cause I still haven't learned how to cook lol...the most she's ever gotten from me, foodwise, is a grilled cheese sandwich and a cut up orange for breakfast lol

 

she's gonna love that!

 

Sounds like a great idea!

 

That sound like a super sweet idea

 

Thanks all who replied! Guess I'll start pricing items and looking up recipes this weekend.

 

Hey Abyle, a homemade dinner is EVEN better than an old restaurant...cause it seems more personal..
