Last Thursday the hubby, my friend Amanda and I met at Dave’s for dinner and games. Dave was out to impress! The main course was Filet mignon, lobster, purple mashed potatoes, and fresh asparagus. I was skeptical about the lobster as I don’t typically like shell fish, but this was done quite well. Dave says that the secret is in cooking the lobster in butter. Hmmm… butter makes everything better!

After an hour or so of letting our dinner settle, Dave unveiled the dessert – chocolate creme brule with fresh berries. On top of that (as if there needed to be more!) for the extra berries he offered a chocolate dipping sauce made by combining melted chocolate with a red wine reduction.

I’m pretty sure I gained five pounds in one night, but it was worth it. Dave should be coming to my house again sometime in the next week or two. I still have not figured out what I’ll be making for dinner, but there’s no way I can compete with this!
