Mother's Day Menu

In honor of my newfound cooking skills, I made dinner for my family for Mother's Day.

The menu:

Starter -- Salt-crusted fingerling potatoes
Main -- Skirt steak with shallot-thyme butter served with asparagus with morels and tarragon
Dessert -- French apple tart

Order of cooking:

1. French apple tart
2. Salt-crusted fingerling potatoes
3. Asparagus with morels and tarragon
4. Skirt steak with shallot-thyme butter

My thoughts: Everything came out great except for the asparagus which was overcooked and the sauce did not thicken very much. I think I prefer a more simple asparagus dish but the sauce is very good for the mushrooms.

I used pre-made frozen dough (Pepperidge Farm) instead of making it myself. It came out perfectly. For the Pepperidge Farm frozen dough, the recipe should be cut in half.
