Back to work tomorrow. But, that's ok, it's surprising how much my outlook changed when I wasn't even thinking about it. And thank goodness, too. I like my attitude much more this way :)
So tonight was Balsamic Filet of Beef, mashed potatoes, and sauteed peppers, onion, and french green beans. I don't deal with green beans much so I was concerned about sauteing them but they turned out great. The filet was incredible. A little more done than I would have liked but tender and juicy just the same. You've GOT TO TRY this beef. Mix some dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper and just rub it all over the beef. Roast at 450 until it's cooked to your liking and you will fall in love. Yum yum yum!!!! I make my mashed potatoes with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. I run the potatoes through a food mill rather than use a masher or mixer and they are the creamiest potatoes ever. I've used the food mill for quite some time (thanks to Ina) but I never thought to put sour cream in the potatoes until last spring when a friend's mom made us meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Thanks, Kim!! She basically taught me how to make meatloaf as well (which is on the menu for later next week). All this food talk is making me hungry so I'm going to scrape up a snack and hit the sack...maybe I should throw poetry into the blog mix as well? ;)
