I don't participate in the monthly events often enough these days, due to my (and my husband's) hectic schedule. But this one, I'm going to. Why? Because I'm a girl who loves good food. Because my boss is going to a conference this weekend, so I have a *little* extra time. Mostly, because I'm a daddy's girl. I've got a big ol' soft spot in my heart for my father. I get misty-eyed every time I shop for cards for him. I know that every card he gets from me will bring a tear to his eye as well. And hopefully a smile :)
I have a lot of food-related memories involving my dad.
We canned homemade salsa and applesauce in the summers from our garden crops. We planted and worked in that dang garden too!
He was the family grill master (and to this day, I still don't know how to use one of those things).
He loved Mexican food (except for onions), and we ate it frequently.
His favorite cake was German chocolate.
He once ate Ritz "sandwiches" made by my little sister, which consisted of two crackers, stuck together with peanut butter and a little lick of her tongue :P
He loved candy and usually had something stashed in his den - hot tamales, jelly belly's, old fashioned root beer, salt water taffy, and truffles.
I have so many great memories of my dad, and I am so thankful to have him in my life!
