Karen: "My Dad absolutely loves peanut butter - just a spoonful as a quick snack or smothered on top of a slice of crusty bread... and you always might catch him with a peanut butter and banana sandwich. It turns out enjoy this sandwich on many Saturdays during our busy wedding season - it's delicious, filled with protein, and makes me smile."
Peggy: "My father was crazy for seafood - I vividly remember sitting at the family summer compound in Owl's Head, Maine watching my dad and his twin brother eat lobster after lobster... 12-13 each, and that's no exaggeration! My father passed some 7 years ago, but we still plan a yearly lobster feast and talk about those lazy days at the camp - no tv, no electricity, no newspaper - just family and friends by the ocean and memories we're greatful to have and share."
A few other snippets from the GG family...
Shelley: "He loved Red-Eye gravy, a southern specialty which I can't even describe!"
Sarah: "He was a sucker for steamers and lobster."
Jen: "Clam Chowder and any kind of pasta with red sauce."
Tim: "Big Fred still loves that Gnocchi."
Victoria: "Dad was always cooking something different - Can you say Chicken ala Steve? Still don't exactly know what that was, but it was delicious!"
Jess: "Any kind of steak, but don't all dads like that?"
Joe: "Tortellini with Cheese... he used to cook it on Saturday afternoons and we'd eat it together after watching cartoons."
Anna: "My father, the foodie, used to eat sandwiches of sliced Soppresatta on soft white bread... I'll never forget it, it's one of my favorite guilty pleasures too!"
Joyce: "Scotch on the rocks... wait, is that a food?"
So, a Happy (Belated) Fathers Day to all of our Gourmet Galley Dads... we surely do love you!
For all those Ken Bondi fans out there, it's all about "The Juice!"
