What We Did For Love

It's a Sunday and a family day.  Niki, our youngest has a catering service to do.  Her menu is Southern-style fried chicken with coleslaw, Barbequed hickory pork ribs, Spaghetti, and Pineapple Upside-down Cake. The food must be delivered at 10am for a Father's day celebration.  She started cooking at 6am but is done with the spaghetti sauce the night before.  Even then it seems she can't make it to the agreed time of delivery.

My husband who was still in bed and although he wanted to savor his special day because it's  Fathers' Day started to assist her daughter with the coleslaw. Hmmmm...it seems I have to extend also my help so I started putting breadings into the chicken while Niki was into frying and baking at the same time.  Our eldest who saw the bayanihan started firing up the charcoal and began with the Pork barbeque ribs. "let's volt in" seemed to be our unified motto.  And not long after the said volt in, we're done!

A family must be closely knit...extending help when needed...not waiting to be asked. I believed its our love for our sweet Niki that prompted us to lend a hand and finished the job. It's what we did for love that the result are satisfied customers.  Niki received lots of kudos...for a perfectly cooked food...

Although we celebrated Father's day the following day, we were so happy and overflowing with joy for a job well done...its what we did for love...
