My Birthday was on August 20th, but we had a special dinner for me on the 21st as my parents had a social function thing to go to. We did something really cool and I thought I would share:biggrin2:also known as bragging 
So I went to the store with a money limit of $100 (a rather ridiculous amount) to get a bunch of mystery ingrediants to use for dinner. The plan was to give my mom a box full of ingrediants and give her a certain amount of time to create a dinner. I thought it would be fun for everyone and that mom would enjoy doing something different (she absolutly loves to cook). So I went to the store and bought a bunch of stuff:
A Baguette, fresh basil, fresh mint, pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 peaches, a mango, a horned melon or Kiwano melon (as a curveball), Orange peach mango juice, fresh mozerella cheese, herbed goat cheese, gouda wheel, organic spinach, a cucumber, and a cauliflower.
The rules were that she could use anyting she already had in the house and that she was allowed to research recipies on the internet or use any cookbooks she had in the house. My mom cooked for around 3 and a half hours and this is what we got for dinner:
Spinach Salad with craisens, almonds and goat cheese crouton and a light balsamic vinigrette dressing.
Chicken with Kiwano Melon sauce and cucumber slices
Curried Cauliflower
Spaghetti Pie with fresh basil and mozerella
Baked peach with crystalized ginger and toasted almonds topped with grenita (frozen juice that's been fluffed up)
The only thing my mom didn't use was the baguatte, which she said she wanted to leave for me to eat later (I loooove fresh bread, I ended up eating the whole thing by myself) She added: Almonds, craisens, pasta, curry paste, and coconut milk along with some other spices that she had around the house.
It was really really good! I wish she had ended up making more of itI just thought you guys might want to see it.
