Try this for your wife on your anniversary

[scottw]

It's my 3rd anniversary on Wednesday but I will be out of town. My wife and I were talking about somewhere to go to eat but the place we were talking about was closed. She said "why don't you cook me a gourmet meal at home?" I love to cook, in fact, anyone who knows me will tell you that if I could support my family by cooking, I would quit my job tomorrow and throw on my chef's hat. Anyway I was thinking about a surf and turf kinda thing with some earthy wild mushrooms as I have a case of cabernet that has been sitting for a bit and I wanted to crack open a bottle. So I went to Shop Rite and grabbed 2 8 ounce Australian Filet Mignons and they had whole lobster on sale for $4.99 per pound. I grabbed a 1 1/2 pounder and grabbed an ounce of dried porcini mushrooms and went home. After a bit of thought, I started cooking. Poured a glass of wine and got into it. The end result was:

Grilled filet mignon over a herbed boursin (cheese), lobster and porcini mashed potato cake with yellow and green squash "ribbons" on top with a Porcini, rosemary Cabernet reduction. It was GOOOOOOOOD. Topped it off with a 1999 Michel Schlumberger Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! Might end tonight with a Padron 40th anni Maduro.

Try this one guys, you will love it.

Well, if I served water instead of wine with the meal, dessert would've been different but she's been sleeping for a f**** hour.

Muahahaha! Sometimes that's even better!!!

Chef Ramsey would be proud of you! Read it to the wife and showed her the pic, she said sounds and looks good to me!

Looks good man, you did a great job. Funny thing is I always tell my guy friends to don't go out for a special dinner, cook for her. I may not cook as good as you buy we think alike.

After 15 years, I can't tell you haw many times a rich meal and/or to many drinks has ruined "dessert". Usually, I'm the one sleeping though. LOL!

Awesome dish! Looks great and not just because I'm on a diet.
