Tomorrow my Dad would have been 85.
We are all getting together to have a Dessie dinner, all Dad's favourites.
How does this sound?
Corned beef and vegies
Shepherd's pie
Lambs fry and bacon
( if it were up to me I would also add fried bread and black pudding)

followed by
apple pie
jelly and ice cream
chocolate pudding
and hopefully some Terry's orange chocolate
Can you tell Dad was a child during the Depression?

ReplyDeleteand what a beautiful photo!
Oh, what a lovely idea. Great pic, I can see the family resemblance running through Jenny. Have a very special time tomorrow. xx
ReplyDeleteI have always thought your dad sounded just lovely Jenny and I think this is such a wonderful idea. I hope it was a comforting time with lots of laughter round the table. I will say a prayer for your dad and family xx
ReplyDeleteYour Dad was born two and a half months after my Mum. Mum would choose most of that menu too.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely way to mark the day. I too would add fried bread, I loved it as a child, not so keen on the black pudding though.

What a special way to celebrate your Dad's life. I hope your family has a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteDepression food ? You just listed some of my favourites and I am just a bit younger than you ? What a wonderful way to honor your father.
ReplyDeleteI am very tempted to get the lambs fry out of the freezer and cook that for my lunch now.
