Father’s Day
By JB. Filed in Family |
I found out last week some time that my wife had volunteered to host lunch this week. Every week her grandmother fixes up a Sunday lunch that can’t be beat, but sometimes we get a little goofy and decide to have lunch at her mother’s or her brother’s or her aunt’s or at our house. Today it was at our house.
We had over 30 people and Cindy cooked a meal that couldn’t be beat. We had a marinated flank steak, some pulled pork, tilapia with two different marinades, some veggie thing on focaccia bread, corn on the cob, asparagus, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes and three or four desserts that were all really good.
I “worked” the grill for a short time and had a couple of beers. I felt obligated to do this as it seemed like something I should do on Father’s Day. So beer was had and veggies and fish were grilled by me and the beer was good and so were the veggies. Cindy came out and threw her flank steak on there for 10 minutes and also plopped the focaccia veggie contraption on there, too. I wish I’d had a chance to try the flank steak, but I’m sure it was good. The focaccia veggie was outstanding, though.
Let’s see: Guest list – JJ, LaDonna, Brianna, William, their new baby whose name I can’t remember, Jim, Keira, Josh, Gahvriel, Christain, Joe, Margret, my dad, Karen, Angela, Colin, Bob, Darlene, Ron, his wife, her daughter, their daughter, Jason, Damien, Jim’s Friend, Jim’s friend’s wife, their boy, their new baby, Gramma, me, Cindy, Ben and Ryan. There may have been more. That’s 33 people and I’m pretty sure is a record for the number of peeps we’ve entertained.
It was a good day and there’s still a few hours left to make it even better – not that it needs to be better or anything, but … what a good day.
