Nearly every night, the dinner that M makes for us is incredible. At worst, it's just fantastic. But some nights, for whatever reason, our dinner tastes like the kind of food people in heaven must eat. Tonight was just one of those nights. The menu: filets mignon in a red wine reduction with onion and mushrooms; salad; and my favorite bread. OH MY GOD.

So, starting with the onions and mushroom, sauteed in butter.
The next step -- red wine.

The platter of steaks, cooked to perfection -- rare.
Topped with those deep red wine-y mushrooms.

Even the salad was absolutely perfect.

My plate, with a piece of my favorite bread and
that luscious steak

See -- so tender and soft, it really did
melt in my mouth

And so juicily red and rare.

You just can't imagine how delicious this meal was. Perfect, in every way; even he had to admit it.
