10/10 - Yesterday was my 21st wedding anniversary. Normally we would have gone out to eat, but we've been spending a lot of money lately, so I decided to cook. I made pan seared filet mignon steaks with a delicious portabello mushroom wine sauce, topped with fresh chives from my garden. With that I served multi-color boiled fingerling potatoes with parsley, some sundried tomato stuffed green olives, and a nice spring greens salad with fresh strawberry slices, walnuts, goat cheese, and balsamic vinegar /Meyer lemon olive oil drizzles. We also drank some of the wonderful Portuguese wine we bought during our 20th wedding anniversary vacation to Portugal, last year. I was going to roast the potatoes, but for some reason our street lost power between 3 pm and 10:30 pm. Luckily, I have a gas range, so I manually lit the gas burners so I could cook everything on the stove.
