(filet mignon in puff pastry) i prefer not to eat out on valentine's day, hate fighting the crowds, the noise, the usually bad service because the restaurant is jam packed, the expense…could i have a little cheese with my "whine"? Lol! Here's what i made for the main course last year, and it was to die for. Almost too pretty to eat….almost! Enjoy!!! *prep-time does not include chilling time.
