need some good ideas for my husbands 33rd birthday?

Question

thanks for all your answers

Answer 1

How many days to his Bday? If you have the time, I'd suggest getting 33 gifts ; cheap but made-for-love gifts for the 32 days before and the best most special one saved for him to open on his Bday.

Lemon Granita Recipe

6 lemons
4 cups water
Sugar, to taste
3 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons limoncello

Clean and wash the lemons.

Cut off the top 1/4 of the lemons and shave a small slice off the bottom so it stands easily. Using a grapefruit knife, cut out the flesh of the lemon and place in a strainer set over a bowl. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.

Stand the lemons on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer and freeze until solid.

Press the flesh of the lemons through the strainer to extract all of the juice. You should end up with about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice. Add the water to the lemon juice. Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is of desired sweetness. Add the thyme and limoncello and let sit for 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture into a roasting pan or baking dish. The dish should be large enough so the liquid is not more than 1-inch deep. Freeze the mixture for 1 hour.

Remove from the freezer and scrape with 2 forks to break up ice. Return to the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 to 3 hours, scraping with forks every hour or so.

When the granite is frozen, scoop it into the frozen lemon shells and serve immediately.

Limoncello Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

10 lemons
1(750-ml) bottle of vodka (3.17cups)(3 cups, 2 TBSP.,2.07tsp)
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith.

Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.

Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer.

Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

Orange Granita Recipe

6 oranges
4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
Sugar, to taste
3 sprigs basil
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

Clean and wash the oranges. Cut off the top 1/4 of the oranges and shave a small slice off the bottom so it stands easily.

Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is of desired sweetness. Add the basil and orange-flavored liqueur and let sit for 15 minutes.
