Filet Mignon and Lobster Mashed Potatoes

There really isn't a step by step guide to this recipe.  And despite being one of the more expensive meals I have prepared, it was also one of the easiest.  I wasn't sure I would be able to buy a live lobster and cook it, so I found frozen lobster tails at a local super market.  If you are up for the live lobster adventure, the taste is going to be even better.  I followed the directions on the package to boil the tails, then removed the meat.  I boiled some Yukon Gold potatoes and mashed them with half and half and butter.  If you have Old Bay on hand I would recommend adding some, we didn't and I didn't want to buy it for just one recipe. I prepared the lobster and potatoes in the morning.  To reheat for dinner I placed the potatoes in an over safe dish and warmed them up at 250 for 20-30 minutes.  Meanwhile I grilled the meat, sauteed some fresh zuchini, and warmed up the lobster with lots of butter in a pan ( I undercooked the lobster in the morning knowing I would have to reheat it.)  I added some salt and pepper and then mixed the lobster with the potatoes.  Simple and delicious!!
