Sleep-ins, smiles, sunshine and food – yes those seem to be the recurrent themes of Father’s Day these past few years. For Canberra again gave us an almost Spring-like weather to celebrate the main Man in our lives – and the girls ensured that he was well and truly spoilt throughout the day!
There was breakfast in bed, lots of homemade cards and gifts, followed by a ‘leave pass’ to go and get a massage!
Not to mention our usual Father’s Day Linner which was, of course, given an international theme. This year – it was all things German!
Nibbles to start, served with a rather refreshing “Hugo” cocktail – made with gin, elderflower cordial and prosecco.
Followed by the main event – featuring homemade soft pretzels with garlic butter, mushroom tartlets, schnitzel and a variety of sides – potato salad, kale salad, marinated red cabbage and a cucumber / dill salad.
All together now!
And for dessert? Well why have one dessert when you can have two!
Warm apple strudel straight from the oven(not pictured), along with a chocolate fix in the form of a black forest inspired chocolate ripple cake.
And before we knew it, the afternoon had turned into evening, as we shared a wonderful day with family celebrating the fathers in our lives. Not to mention adding another food “destination” to our annual Father’s Day celebration.
And just because I can’t resist a trip down memory lane…
2012
And finishing with 2019… German themed!
