Do you know that a non-stick pan will not create a reduced sauce anywhere near as flavorful as a SS pan? Just "Foor for Thought" next time your think' saucy. Super easy adjustment makes a whole lot o' difference to the final taste. Nevertheless, like I said, it looks great. Looks great, but I see you using a Teflon pan for that sauce?

The combination of goats cheese and lobster was awesome! I made the reduction but added a bit of corn starch and water to make it into a thicker consistency. The flavor was still incredible. The entire meal was fantastic and I served it for an at home "date night." Its our favorite meal of the year....last years favorite was the standing rib roast you cooked at Christmas!!

The first go round I struggled a bit with the reduction.. cooked too long, or too much butter not sure which, or combo. But second go round it was perfect. Potatoes were perfect both times around. Teri is HUGE mashed potato fan so no way I could pull of the pre made but you are right, during the week its a bit of a labor! Great dish, easy to do, but looks tough..
