A Toast to Dad

Filed in archive Wine Resources on June 17, 2007

Happy Father's Day!!! Since it's "his" day, I thought it would be interesting to toast dad today, so I went looking for appropriate quotes, a sort of "here's to you dad."

I found some good ones over at the About.com Quotations site:

erika Cosby: Happy Father's Day Quotes
You know... fathers just have a way of putting everything together.

Clarence Budington Kelland: Happy Father's Day Quotes
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Happy Father's Day Quotes
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

And, after you toast dad, you may want to give him some actual toast - French toast that is - with these ideas from Chiff.com:

To help provide the perfect setting, following are some tips developed by King's Hawaiian to create an island-style experience to complement a breakfast favorite:

* Savor the syrup - Consider some alternative toppings to regular syrups. For example, a mixture of one-part orange marmalade and two-parts maple syrup creates a subtle citrus accent for your French toast creations.

* Toppings for taste buds -Incorporate some tropical side dishes such as coconuts, macadamia nuts and pineapples on tables as decorations or in bowls as snacks for guests.

* Give it some juice! - Serve luscious tropical beverages such as guava juice, pineapple juice or passion fruit juice, or make a homemade tropical punch with pieces of sliced fresh mango, guava and pineapple.
