This is a very sad day for our family. Our beloved Papa, who we cite as our Dad's first inspiration for cooking-- the one who started it all-- passed away this morning at the age of 94. He lived a full and amazing life; enriching all of those he came into contact with. He was a WWII flying instructor, a Queen's University graduate Engineer, a city planner, a builder, a carpenter, a storyteller, a great cook, and most of all a husband, father and grandfather. I don't think there will ever be a better buffet eater around or a better thrift shopper. I went to a thrift store today in honor of him and of course I cooked today in honor of him. He was ready to leave his frail body and join my Dad in heaven. I'm sure since they are together, there has to be food involved...
So sorry for your loss. Hope you're all coping okay. What a nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jodie! Well said - maybe you should have written the obituary:( Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to tell you that Nana and I went to the Kings Buffet today in honor of Papa! He would have been proud...I shoved a few almond cookies in my purse! There were no bacon bits offered or I would have gone that route - just for Papa.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your families loss Jodie.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea this blog was yours, I love it! I have tried a couple of recipes and they are divine! I'm grateful your dad left you with the cooking talent.
Thanks very much Ann ( :
