Aaron spent the past two days simmering his homemade ragu. I’d love to share a recipe, but his sauce is an expression of his love for food rather than anything that could be pinned to paper. Two days of simmering, tasting, adding, hand wringing, simmering, tasting, adding, tasting, simmering… a lot of love went into this meal. On Father’s Day, we finally got to sit down and eat it, and it was definitely worth the wait. I’m not sure if he planned to have the sauce ready for Father’s Day, or if it just worked out that way, but I certainly wasn’t going to get in his way. I didn’t have to cook. And the food was amazing.<\/p>\n

I’m so lucky to have such a great husband, who also happens to be an awesome dad to our 5-year-old, and an amazing, if occasional, cook.<\/p>\n

So instead of cooking, I’m going to round up some of my favorite fathers day posts this year. I’ll tackle the dishes later.<\/p>\n

  10. I definitely need to include my own post: 5 things I learned from my Dad<\/a>. I wrote this the first Father’s Day after he passed away, but those lessons are still the ones I would pick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
