It's my fathers Day

On Mummy's Day, she wanted a posh meal in a posh restaurant.  My father on the other hand did not want the fuss.  The moment I woke up, I  was directed by mum to make a meal from scratch. So off to the market i went early this morning.

We made mum's.....ooops I mean dad's favourite "a boeuf explosion avec pomme des terres traditionelle" or as they say en anglais & simply put "beef pie with potatoes"

I even walked into Park N Shop with my head held high and my pennies weighing down my little trouser pockets, i choose a bottle of bubbly for a grand total of HK$12.5 to compliment the meal.

Asked my mum what the meaning of Father's day is, her reply was "it's exactly like Mothers day,  Father's day is an opportunity for Papa to look after Mama ", and Mother's day?....."well ...it's the reverse, it's where Mama is looked after by Papa"!

Learning point, it's fair and square, on both occasions, I have to look after them both....sigh!
