Valentine's Supper

I like to eat and put a lot of thought into meals. For Valentine's Day, I wanted something that Kevin and I could both make and something that he would really enjoy. We had filet mignon, lobster tails, grilled okra, potato wedges and for dessert, a delicious chocolate pie!

We bought some thin mints on Saturday morning so I thought a pie crust made from thin mints would be just the right thing. This is a box of crushed thin mints with half a stick of melted butter pressed into a pie dish.

 I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe for Pots De Creme for the pie filling.

1 bag of semin sweet chocolate, 4 room temperature eggs, a pinch of salt, a cup of hot coffee and a tablespoon of vanilla. Blend Well.

We coated the filets in olive oil, salt and pepper and same for the okra. For the potato wedges, we cut russet potatoes into wedges and covered them in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese and roasted them for about 30 minutes. For the lobster tails, we broiled them with butter and lemon pepper.
