Father's Day at Sonny's

We celebrated Father's Day at Sonny and Selma's house and he did all the cooking.  We ate in courses with time in-between and although he had to change his entire menu last minute he did more than a fine job for the entire meal! 

Marinated grilled sirloin
 with asparagus and artichoke hearts.

His original plan was to slow cook a pig's head.  Yes.  He was going to try to take it on and had ordered the special cut of meat.  Unfortunately, when he arrived the day before to pick it up from the butcher they hemmed and hawed and tried to tell him that they didn't receive it and/or it had been delivered to another store.  He was upset.  He was there to shop for the entire menu that revolved around that specific cut.  He admitted it took him a while to recover from the blow.  He froze up as far as ideas for changing the menu.  He had it all figured out but then he didn't.  He did fine.  He brought it all together in a fantastic meal. 

I forgot to take the picture
 before I was almost finished eating!
Pork roast red sauce with pasta!

I made dessert but I cheated.  I made chocolate pudding
 in graham cracker mini-crusts topped with fresh raspberries.

What a fun day with lot's of good company and great food...what better way to spend it than with your boys and their boys.
Happy Fathers Day!
