I know there was a thread about Father's Day meals a week or so ago, but what did everyone decide on?

My DP wants lobster, which isn't my favorite food (I know, I'm a cheap date

) so he'll have that and I'll just have the side dishes (corn on the cob, pasta salad, fruit salad), or maybe make myself a hamburger or a chicken breast.

For dessert, I'm going to make chocolate-hazelnut bars.

I want to make him a special breakfast as well -- maybe popovers, maybe buttermilk pancakes or waffles.

What's everyone else doing?

Indian food. A whole lot of it. :LOL
So far i'm thinking
subji
rice with black mustard seeds
red dal
a smooth pureed HOT yam curry
raita
pakoras
tamarind or tomato chutney
Mabye mabye mabye roasted garlic naan if i'm feeling up to it after all of that cooking. :LOL

And for desert...
Carmel fondue.
Don't know what we will be dipping in the carmel fondue yet.. Any ideas?
I was thinking of making brownies, a tiny cheesecake and strawberries. but I've never had carmel fondue so i'm nervous.

Oh, and for breakfast I'm making vegetarian buttermilk biscuits and "sausage" gravy. His favorite.

So incredibly unhealthy.

Apples!
poundcake
pretzels
shortbread or ladyfingers
bananas

Sounds yummy. I've never heard of a caramel fondue, but I bet it'll be good. Enjoy!

We're having a somewhat unhealthy dinner, but it's what Dh and my dad want!

Grilled rib eyes
Mashed Potatoes
Grilled Asparagus, Squash and Brocolli (marinated in orange & balsamic)
A nice big salad
and chocolate cake with fresh raspberries for dessert

 

[crunchy_mama]

I am making lamb gyros, with homemade wheat pitas of course and cheesecake!

 

[mamatosage]

We are having pancakes for breakfast
lunch--not sure
Dinner----kamut rotini with tomato alfredo sauce and garlic toast
cheesecake (DH's fave) for dessert.
a very fattening day!

Apricot Chicken. It's his favorite dish and I haven't made it in ages.

Dh wants waffles and bacon. I haven't allowed the family to eat bacon in months and months. I figure I can go to the market in the morning and get some good, lean organic bacon and we can compromise. Whole grain barley waffles with maple syrup and a big fruit salad.
