JFSinIL Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Marinating a boneless leg of lamb here for grilling later. Thank goodness ComEd came out 20 minutes after I called in a power outage (entire street appeared to be out) when I woke at 5am to use the bathroom and noticed all the electronics off. No idea how long off, but stuff in fridge - including lamb - still cold. No idea for sides yet. Pastry-school dd making cupcakes. Ok, found tiny taters at Sam's Club to be oven roasted, and coleslaw.

Faithr Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 My dh is going to grill steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. Sides will be caesar salad and corn on the cob. Dessert is apple pie and butter pecan ice cream (his favorite). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergath Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We're having hamburger celery gravy and mashed potatoes. I offered to grill steaks, but no, dh wants the gravy. It was his comfort food as a kid and he requests it whenever he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Lunch out with his own dad, just the two of them. Chicken and rice casserole at home with us. His choice. I was a little surprised at the choice, but happy because I love it, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Oh man. Yesterday we went shopping for it, and I'll be honest, it wasn't the most pleasant shopping trip. *I* would have made a menu and then a shopping list. My DH, OTOH, said our meal is going to be like a trip to Sam's Club (Costco), where we try all the different samples. He caught fish and wants to try it fried. He borrowed a friend's fryer and wants to try that out, too. I think our final menu includes: Fried fish Fried zucchini Fried french fries BBQ tri tip... ...on tacos with beans and fixins Hot dogs watermelon strawberries corn on the cob marshmallow brownies strawberry cheesecake I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Yesterday I was cranky, but today I said, hey, he wants to make it and there will be no shortage of food. And it's Father's Day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Grilled flank steak (marinating now), grilled zucchini, orzo with parmesan and basil, green salad. Ice cream sundaes for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Steaks, burgers for those who prefer them (the younger children), baked potatoes, salad, maybe a green vegetable (oooh, maybe I'll make cheesy broccoli, and it can be a baked potato topping if desired!), and maybe parmesan mushrooms. And probably a pie because my husband prefers pie to cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 My son and I offered to take my husband out to the veg Indian restaurant nearby, but the guest of honor says he would prefer Olive Garden. So, my son is now in charge of getting us on the wait list for a late-ish dinner after I get off work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We ate dinner out (Prime Rib) with two of our boys (+ two friends) last night at a local diner for our "official" Father's Day meal. Today - in less than half an hour - we're going to have grilled burgers, Berks hot dogs, cheese dogs (all on potato rolls), beets, sauteed beet greens, garden peas and sour cream or regular Herrs potato chips - all followed by cake and either mint chocolate chip or almond butter ice cream. I'm pretty sure no one will have to eat again for a few days. Oh wait... we have young twenty somethings here. Yeah, they'll probably want supper. At least three of them will be out on their own for supper (attending a concert nearby). I have left over Prime Rib for my supper if I'm interested. If not, it will keep until tomorrow.

Chris in VA Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Ribs are in the oven now. Dh will finish them on the grill about half an hour before dinner.

Debbi in Texas Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Reuben sandwiches. In all their buttery, fattening goodness!! Picked up some of dh's favorite candies.

J-rap Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 We'll grill some marinated chicken and corn on the cob, throw in some baby potatoes and a salad, plus a key lime pie if I get off the computer so I can run to the grocery store and get the last ingredients I need!

SparklyUnicorn Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I made chicken, rice, and green beans. Later I'm grilling steak for me and sausages for DH. He doesn't like steak.

zoobie Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Apparently nothing because he was officially in charge of it and it's 7:15 pm with nothing bought or prepared. (Mother's Day retribution.) I guess I will give up and feed the little kids something in a minute. Big kids can fend for themselves. Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm amused at how many of the menus have steak or burgers on them!
