Happy Father’s Day everyone! Fathers are such unsung heroes – especially for daughters. They are the measuring stick by which all men are measured. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending upon the type of father he was.

Father’s Day Oven-Grill Country Ribs
Tomorrow is Father’s Day. In the past, a number of my Father’s Day posts have been complete menus – from the appetizers to the desserts – all favorites with the menfolk. This year, tomorrow’s post is going to be a bit different, especially for me.

Truth be told, ever since we first had these awesomely delicious burgers in a pub in Sutter Creek, I’ve been looking for an excuse to make them at home. Father’s Day, as it turns out, is just the excuse needed.

It’s hard to believe I’ve had the privilege of sharing more than half my life holding hands with my best friend. We’ve had our share of ups and downs over the years, as all couples do. Let’s face it, anyone who claims theirs in a perfect union spent entirely in martial bliss is either lying or in a state of denial.

Next Up – Father’s Day Barbecue
One more week and counting. Now that we live in another town, holidays are especially meaningful. Never take your family for granted.

I don’t know how it is in your family, but with mine we are so full of bread and nuts that the meal itself is an after thought. Maybe there should be a restaurant that serves only warm bread and peanuts in the shell. Oh wait, those are called saloons!

This is especially true if siblings have scattered with the four winds. Having grown up in a very close family, Father’s Day is extra special.
