Due to committments last weekend I am preparing my wife's birthday dinner this evening.

Filet Mignon for her, t-bones for my son and me.
Shrimp Scampi using fresh pink Key West shrimp (16-20 count)
Fresh asparagus
Baked potato
Vanilla IC with our homemade topping.

The steaks are aged Certified Hereford.

Your wife too. Filet Mignon? I do the same thing, almost. My bride wants filet, I do a top loin strip for me.
Happy birthday to Mrs. Chad. Please pass it along to her.

Looks good to me. Nothing better than a good steak and those look pretty fine.

Happy birthday to the wife Chad. I'm sure the steaks turned out great.

Good looking meat. I know you wife enjoyed the meal pass along the Birthday wishes.

Great looking meat!

chad · 04-23-2006, 09:42 PM

Thanks guys, I'll pass along birthday wishes.

The steaks were great. The t-bones were about 1.5 pounds each and the filet went .63 pounds. I butterflied the filet to get a litte more surface area to cook.

I love the market I bought these steaks from, but I don't especially care for the price!! It's worth it for special occassions. I think next time I'm going with their ribeye steaks...they were beautiful, too.

Chad, ribeyes are a good comprimise. Great flavor. It is the only thing besides filet mignon that my wife will eat without having some comment, like this is good , but.....

That's a right fine spread, Dave!
