My son has a date for Homecoming, and he asked me to cook

[jeffturnerjr]

Seriously dude, he has a big date and talks to you about it, you are parenting right. He has a big date and asks for your help, you win at parenting.

Man I hope I am doing a good enough job with my girls to get such an honor. Almost ready to cry here.

What a great word of encouragement!

I really enjoyed doing this for them. Sierra even took home one of the menus I printed up. I think she liked it.

Thanks for looking y'all and all of your kind comments. I love this place!

Thanks Chris! I'm just doing my best. We have a Great Teacher and Example. Our hope is that the young lady witnessed an example of service.

How did you make the soup?

I cut a pretty big Acorn squash in half, and cooked it indirect on a kettle until it was tender. I let it cool, scooped out the flesh and blended it with ~3/4 cup whipping cream, ~3/4 cup milk, a chicken bullion cube, 3-4 TSP of water, ~ 2 tsp of minced garlic, a pinch of chipotle powder, salt and pepper. Simmered it until it was hot and served it. I thought it was really tasty.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Does he have any much older sisters? Also that is a great menu bet he doesn't have any trouble getting dates after that dinner.

 

[bobaftt]

Also having met you at PGBBQ your son must get his looks from his mother which is good for all involved!
