Father’s Day Eats

Jun 17th, 2011

It’s his ‘special’ weekend so he got to pick the menu. The following recipes are brought to you by Scott with a little tweaking, of course, by me. If left unchecked, he tends to go a little heavy on the carbs. You will see how the health factor of the meal degrades as we move through the menu…

Lobster Thermidor from Food Tale

We are all looking forward to the main dish. Tennison wants to hold lobster races in the kitchen before they meet their demise. We’ll see.

Red & Blue Deviled Potatoes from Kirbie’s Craving

Here is where the tweaking came in. He wanted Blue Potatoes Au Gratin by Paula Deen. I get fatter just reading Paula Deen’s recipes so I pulled a switcheroo. He loves anything deviled so I think he will be okay with the menu change.

Pop-Open Clams with Horseradish Tabasco Sauce from Food & Wine

A classic Scott selection. If the man had a purse it would contain multiple bottles of hot sauce.

Blueberry & Goat Cheese Salad from Salad Pride

I had just one more tweak – he wanted Caesar. Sorry, I can’t handle the sodium. Because of my 2 changes I gave him the go-ahead with the drink and dessert picks…

He is nothing if not consistent.

The man loves his Corona Light.

On the day meant to honor his awesomeness he is definitely allowed his favorite ice cream. But who are we kidding here? The man eats it whenever he damn well pleases. He just tries to hide it from me. Unsuccessfully.
