POMMES FONDANT!
Tuned out incredibly delicious! YUM! I served them with a couple (deliciously tender) top sirloins, and some roasted asparagus. I meant to add sauteed onion to top the steak, but forgot them next to the stove while I was plating. Bad Angela!

I'm trying to convince Max that if he isn't adopted by the time I get back from the Forest Service, we should take him (its not really working yet, though). We did actually meet him at the PetSmart SPCA ( Read more... )
