Birthday dinner

Seeing as it is my darling's birthday and we can not go out for dinner, he requested a restaurant experience at home... So, I will try my best! We aged some Filet Mignon's (on the high end of Choice cuts, but not quite Prime) in the fridge for close to 48 hours, and I will shortly attempt to make this. It is a Bordeaux wine sauce for the filets, which I am serving alongside wilted spinach greens with raisins and walnuts, white truffle olive oil sauteed Shiitake mushrooms, and roasted chili potatoes. The chili potatoes are something new for me. The ones we got are from Chelsea, MA and look like red potatoes almost in the shape of a chili pepper (hence the name?). I am going to oven roast them with rosemary and the white truffle olive oil. It's fun cooking with new ingredients! I will post pictures as well as a review of how his birthday dinner actually turned out. Wish me luck!
