Wow... we bought my husband an electric car polisher/ buffer this year as well. :-) Small world.

Hubby is from Hawaii and thus I made spam, eggs and rice for his breakfast (ugh, I know but he adores it). For dinner he said he'd like baby back ribs, homemade baked beans (just popped the bean pot in the oven to slow roast for hours on end), greek fries and my world famous key lime torte for dessert. Loads of work but he is so worth it. Happy father's day to all the dads out there!

Regular Sunday Dinner here but we have two 'Dads'. My son and my son-in-law. They are getting a baked ham (too damp, drippy and cool to cook out) baked beans, spinach salad, Texas toast, lemonade pie & chocolate cake. Huneybumper, my three grand dogs will be here too : ).

Rib eye steaks, corn on the cob, either grill baked or garlic mashed potatoes (still deciding), guacamole, fresh tomato-grilled poblano salsa with chips, new radishes with a little soft butter for dipping and salt, small salads with home-made ranch dressing and crumbled blue cheese (one of his faves), pound cake with sweetened strawberries-blueberries and whipped cream.

I was going to make a rhubard kuchen too, but it's too hot to bake today.
Berries and cream it is!

Beer can chicken, green beans and new potatoes cooked the Paula Deen way, my homegrown tomatoes caprese with my homegrown basil (havent tried making mozzarella yet!) fresh peach cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream for my husband and both sons who are all Dads. I have made a big pitcher of sweet tea, but i suspect there will be caiprihainas and mojitos later in the day.

Mark Bittman's oven roasted ribs, baked potato with the works, corn on the cob and pistachio ice cream. Skyped with my adult kids who are 6000 miles away...

If it stops raining, I'd like to light the grill and do a nice ribeye, but if that's not the case, my daughter is going to do penne alla vodka and I'm going to make a pesto coated flatbread to go with it.

Unfortunately I am not with my family today so I will be eating dinner alone... but I am having roasted zucchini, onions & sun-dried tomatoes along with an elk burger and spaghetti squash!

When I go home for the 4th of July... we will celebrate both father's day and my birthday (which is this Friday - the 26th)... I wonder what we will have then!

My dad's favorite meal: rigatoni with red sauce and pecorino romano, strong red Sicilian wine, and a triple layer chocolate fudge cake with buttercream frosting for dessert. He usually likes meatballs, too, but we're trying to cut back on red meat, so we stuck to just the pasta.

we had mussels steamed in white wine, garlic and butter, pasta pomodoro a giant green salad and some garlic bread. all fresh from the farmer's market this morning.

I made breakfast for the hubster with my little girl. Then dinner by myself in the afternoon (she was sick and in bed by that time).

Breakfast was vanilla cafe' au lait, bacon, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs (my girl's specialty), sliced tomatoes, accompanied by butter, jam and bowls of juicy nectarines and cherries.

Dinner was a garden salad and vinaigrette, meatballs in a mushroom and onion gravy spiked with a spoonful of creme fraiche, herbed mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, and slices of toasted pound cake with fresh cherries and sweetened vanilla creme fraiche.

Can you tell I was inspired by demands for a manly meal on one hand and by Kerry Saretsky's post last week on the other? Making creme fraiche was too easy by the way. And so good sweetened with a bit of sugar and vanilla then over the cherries and cake. Definitely will do that again. Now it will be on that list of stuff my friends think I am crazy to make myself, except none of them even know what creme fraiche is!!!
