This Beef Wellington made by my Wife was "wow" good. Unbelievable and ten times better than most restaurants.  She cooked it to perfection and even decorated the crust.  Truly amazing to look at and eat.  This was perfect!

DINNER AT HOME

Oh my this dinner was amazing.  A perfectly cooked steak and these incredible Smashed Crispy Potatoes with Avocado Salsa.  This meal was beautiful to look at and even better to eat.  The Potatoes rock and when you combine them with the Avocado Salsa with Jalapeño, Cotija Cheese and Cilantro you have a flavor combination that is through the roof.  Entire family devoured this meal and loved every bite.  So blessed that my Wife cooks the best steaks on the Island.  As good or better than any high end steak house I guarantee.  Recipe for the Potatoes below.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE SEAS

For a $30 per person cover charge you can dine at Chops Steak House aboard Independence of the Seas.  This is an upscale Steak House similar to a Morton's or Ruth Chris on land.  The $30 allows you to order as many appetizers, sides, entree's and desserts as you can possibly stomach.  Want two steaks and five appetizers?  Order them up and they will be served with no questions asked.  When we were trying to decide on what sides to order, the waiter simply said she would bring one of each.  While the $30 is a bit expensive for a cruise ship cover charge, we found the service and food to be excellent at Chops Steak House.  I had the 10 oz Filet.  It was just enough meat for me and cooked perfectly medium  rare.  Enjoyed a nice French wine and some great desserts this evening.
