National Filet Mignon Day (August 13)

This beef cut can be quite expensive when dining out, but much more reasonable to make at home, especially if you purchase a whole tenderloin. Today we will purchase filet mignon and have them cooked by Rynet Oxendine. We will enjoy a salad and a baked potato. The dinner will begin at 6:00 pm. The cost is $10r/$20nr. Please sign up and pay by August 5.
