And now... the coup de grace...

I think I shall be done cooking after tonite. I may have really outdone myself!!! I am making...

Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon and Potatoes Lyonnaise

My hubby is beside himself with joy! And I have learned a fair amount.
  1. Don't cut up your own filet mignon. Yes, this is budgeted into my Dave Ramsey cash-only budgeted grocery money. However, in an attempt to shave $3 off per lb. I bought a chunk of filet. Ummm... it's a pain to cut off the fat and silver skin. And now, I have what looks like significantly less meat! Argh!
  2. Don't taste the pepper straight. Duh.
  3. Teaching a child to peel potatoes is harder than one would think. We're going to work on that!

I'll post a review of both recipes later tonite. In the meantime, go look up these recipes along with the Chicken Parmesan below. So yummy! (Oh, and a friend pointed out that you have to join "America's Test Kitchen" to access the recipes. It's free and so worth it!!! Trust me!)
