Jonathan Vol….CHOW

This is a guest post from Jonathan Chow... (Well... Not really but enjoy the Chowness of this post)

Without Further Ado... What I made for Valentines day.

This was the first Valentines day in 2 years that I was home for my wonderful girlfriend, Maria. She and I have been dating for 7 years now.

The first year, I was off in the Mexican Sierras painting churches and speaking at a youth event. It was good times.

The second year, I was in India visiting orphanages and eating a unbelievable amount of Chicken Curry... Sooooo much Chicken Curry.

So this year, I had the opportunity to go to Ohio during Feb 12-16 to visit my family but I just couldn't skip another Valentines day.

So on Valentines day, I decided to make Maria a nice Filet Mignon at home and watch a movie.

Without further ado, I present to you the John Chow... I mean Volk dinner.

For being my first time cooking filet mignon, I think I did a pretty good job but it could have been better. As you can see from the photo... I love A1 Sauce.

The mashed potatoes were good but needed more seasoning (GARLIC).

The carrots were maria's creation. They were brown sugar carrots and were tasty.

Lastly, rice pilaf. Mmm mmm good.

It was good times.
