It’s Father’s Day!
He is your first superhero, your first love in life (don’t tell that to your mom though).
He’s more than special, he’s your one in a million dad. Your life is full of joy and laughter when he is around, another man like him, can never be found. He taught you to differentiate right from wrong, right from the moment that you were born.
You know he’ll always guide you, like Mufasa guided Simba. You know he’ll always be proud of you despite your constant bickering, like Dr. Henry Jones was proud of his son, Indiana. You know he’ll always teach you the best lessons in life, like Vito Corleone taught Michael. You know he will stand by you and support you like Mac McGuff stood by his Junebug…and you very well know, that if you are ever well and truly lost, he’ll always find you, like Marlin found Nemo.
Your dad is truly the King of his Castle, the Lord Of His Jungle, it’s only fitting that you treat him with an amazing meal, fit for the Lords and Kings on this day. We’d like to present you the recipe for this regal dish which will immediately transport your amazing dad into a gastronomical utopia.
Hey, he’s earned it.
