'rents are coming for the holidays. Woot!

the grill master
and lord of the SPAM.

Man, I'd kill for some Spam musubi right now. Maybe some Spam, rice & eggs.

He made two different pumpkin pies from scratch for Thanksgiving and he's addicted to chocolate. :) I still remember thinking he made the best mashed potatoes when I was little. Yeah, he's good.

Dad made three things - all on the grill and all looked like this.

Dad's Hamburgers & Hot Dogs (you didn't know if you were eating a red or white hot dog)

Dad's Steak (also a classically crispy blackened version that was dry and tough when he got done with it)

Cold beans from the can.

My dad was master of the BBQ and smoker. He liked to go fishing and whenever he brought home yellowtail, it went into the smoker. Yum.

He also BBQ'd our Thanksgiving turkey every year. My brother carried on the tradition this year.

Spam fried rice. might actually have to give this a try.

Your dad gone too? :(

Dad didn't fish, and he wasn't much of a cook. He did pretty good grilling hamburgers though.

It's good stuff. Don't need much spam to flavor it. You can go light on the soy sauce too.

Generations of Hawaiians can't be wrong. Spam w/ fried rice is oh so right.

But even better with Portugese sausage. :thumb: I miss Zippy's and the special breakfast items at McDonalds. :(

I think God cut me some slack by not putting me in Hawaii. I'd have a heart attack before 40. Seriously, if I had folks that could cook w/ Portugese sausage, chicken katsu, moco loco, et. al. Bad news.

My dad sometimes cooks better than my mom, especially with beef--my mom tends to overcook meats and make them yucky and rubbery. I still cook waaaay better than either of my parents though, since I learned from my grandparents.:lol:

Beer and brats.

Pittsburgh ain't that far from Mechanicsburg.

Just sayin' :innocent:

Well Tude, you can say that your dad treated you like a goddess. He served you burnt offerings.:roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2: I slay myself sometimes.
My dad's cooking?

Omelets. My dad taught me how to make the perfect omelet. And to appreciate the chemistry behind successful cooking (he was a chemist).

My dad would make us pancakes in the shape of our initials on Saturday mornings.

I do 98% of the cooking in my house. My wife just does have the patience for it, plus, she is a messy cook. I clean up as I cook and it make life so much easier at the end.

My dad disappeared when I was 8 and that's kind of ironic because he was a magician. My wife's dad couldn't find the kitchen with a road map.

Barbecued sardines.

My fathers cooking: questionable:eek:

Potatoes and eggs.

ALL. OF. THE. TIME.

(Just kidding. He can make some basic stuff now, and he's alright with it. But he never cooks; no time.)

I don't remember ever seeing my father cook!

No, wait!

He did get out there and barbecue a few hamburgers every once in a while :) .

East Hill

My father was slightly less bad than Tudes about ruining stuff of the grill. It was so bad, my mom would make me grill stuff before he got home so we wouldn't have to deal with him burning it.

Not any better than mom or grandmothers. None of them should be allowed in the kitchen!

The guy could burn water.

Bad, bad man. I had no self control over there...fish tacos, etc. etc. Bottle of shoyu on every table wherever you go, easy access to Spam musubi...man, just, very dangerous. What you cook w/ sausage? :twitchy:
