Dinner for Two:
Sauté de Boeuf à la Parisienne (Beef Sauté with Cream and Mushroom Sauce), served with tagliatelle noodles and "Jürgen Ellwanger" Lemberger 2007.  The recipe calls for 2 1/2 lbs. filet of beef.  A high quality filet costs about 36 euros for two pounds.  I halved the recipe :-) and only spent 18 euros for the beef alone!  I've seen filet of beef in restaurants go for over 25 euros a pop, so I guess it'll always be better to cook at home (and at least I know what I'm eating).  The recipe was fantastic, but didn't top the Boeuf Bourguignon at my parents!
