    Fantastic Fatherly Foods

    June 16, 2011 Filed Under: Uncategorized

    My houseguests cooking for me.

    This past weekend, my Godpappy (Dad's cousin) Barry and his lovely and talented wife, Sandy, came to visit. Like any good hostess I wanted them to enjoy themselves and do whatever they wanted. So, on the second day of their trip they kicked me out of my kitchen and prepared a feast for us. 

    I just sat on a bar stool watching in amazement and occassionally answering the "where is the ___?" questions they had.  If you have read any of my previous blogs, or know my family, this really isn't as strange as it sounds. What can I say? We are a bunch of foodies. In return I sent them home with a branch of bay leaves and some other fresh herbs, which was pretty exciting to them.

    Sandy's pasta sauce with Italian Sausage meatballs!

    Before they even left on their trip they made us a loaf of her fabulous homemade bread (Matthew's favorite) and his peanut brittle (my favorite) and some lemon marmalade that was so much easier to make than the one I tried (their recipe's coming soon, I hope). While they were here they made a fabulous Italian sausage and beef pasta sauce and Nick Stellino's minestrone.  They made so much that I had to borrow a third stock pot from my neighbor to

    Minestrone with freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano

    cook the pasta. 🙂 Even after giving some awayto the neighbor as a thank you for the loan, we still have plenty of leftovers.

    And as a final Father's Day tribute here are links to more recipes from the men in my family:

    • My food tribute to my Dad, including some of his favorite things to make and eat. 
    • last year's blog about the recipes from the men in my family.

    Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, etc.!

    Until next time, happy eating!
