Sam loves his red meat, and honestly, before I met him I only ate a hamburger once a year at a picnic or something because there was nothing else to eat. Needless to say, he is the one doing the cooking, so when the cook prepares red meat that’s all you get.
Last night, I got lucky because we had fillet mignon, which I’ve read is a healthier red meat choice. Of course, Sam made steak diane, which is smothered in cream, peppercorns, mushrooms and brandy. Cream being the key word. So bad for you, yet so tasty and perhaps worth it. All food is healthy if it’s in moderation, right?
Sam even lit it on fire like they do in fancy restaurants:
Luckily, I made a very tasty salad to balance out the unhealthiness, and we drank a nice hearty glass of red wine. Salad ingredients: Spinach, mixed greens, blue cheese crumbles, strawberries, onions, pine nuts [walnuts are better], croutons, and a
balsamic vinaigrette dressing
