My Dad's wish for Father's day was to have his kids and grandkids over to share in a meal of his favorites--BBQ and blueberry pie. It turned out to be a potluck dinner with everyone bringing a wonderful dish to share with my Dad. We started with some beautiful appetizers created by my Mom, caviar on homegrown cucumbers and the always delicious combination of blue cheese, grapes, and crackers. We toasted my Dad with my new favorite summer before dinner drink, a glass of Crios Rose of Malbec, cheers!
The main course centered on Marc's delicious barbequed ribs. The ribs were perfectly cooked and falling off the bone. My Mom served us two wonderful salads, the black bean and corn salad (I know there are some fans out there, the recipe is in the comments section) and authentic German potato salad. For dessert we had blueberry pie by special request. I found the recipe online, but needless to say with blueberries cooked in sugar, how can it be anything but easy and so tasty!
