What a treasure this post is. I share so many similar memories of my own Dad through food, Jan. He passed his sweet tooth, love of a full fridge and a comfort in a house full of guests (among other things) on to me and I couldn't be prouder. I hope mine & yours are eating ice cream up there ... mine would be having it right from the tub. xxooxxoo.

Oof! Big love to you for the warning...and the goats...and the memories of my Dad that surfaced while reading about yours. My imagination went directly to the two of them sharing stories of their daughters over flat slices of Neapolitan ice cream laying on a plate. In our house, it was served "cake stye" for fairness. With salad forks no less. ❤️

Cake style! What an innovation! I'm sure my dad would be blown away by this idea. Sending you lots and lots of love, my pal. ❤️

What a beautiful tribute to your dad Jan. I am never surprised to hear he was so full of joy and love as you are the same. And I always learn from you....photocopied memories, rib recipes. Keep on keeping on. I was so excited to see this in my inbox!!!

What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your dear old dad. Some of us were pretty lucky to have struck gold for dads. Thanks for this Jan and food is definitely a way to remember such fond memories. Ribs were a fav with my old pops too! xxo
