Friday Night Fabulousness

I say fabulous because there is nothing I love more than Friday nights like this. After a long day and week at work, Lane and I often like to spend our Friday nights at home with a good meal. Almost always, our good meal is a steak and a bottle of wine. We truly believe that God designed us for each other in every aspect, but he was especially thinking of us for each other when it comes to food and wine. I do, however, take credit for introducing Lane to good wine. Before meeting me and my parents (who are wine fanatics), he drank Franzia...no lie. Now, he researches wine.com almost daily for the highest ranked wines and seeks them out...Our wine refrigerator is organized by year...He knows the staff at Goody Goody's. A monster has been created! The good news is that I always benefit from this obsession and thoroughly enjoy it! This particular Friday night, we had beef tenderloin, blue cheese polenta, sauteed asparagus and mini cheesecakes with fresh strawberries. The meal was paired with a 2003 Stonestreet Alexander Valley Cabernet. Yum, yum, yum!

(I am not going to blog about the cheesecakes because, well, they are from a box! Gasp! I know. But they are just really good and easy! I used to buy the Eagle Brand but can't find it anymore, so I use Jello No-Bake Cheesecake. Don't judge me!)
