Cookies and Cream, 2005
Oil on linen, 2' x 2'
June 20, 2004 6PM, Like many of our memorable meals when the weather warmed up n Maryland, my Father’s Day dinner was an opportunity to grill a manly meal. This one was served on my recently constructed back deck at pool side. To us carnivores, it is custom to serve a hunk of of grilled meat at special backyard occasions and this meal was no different, including large steaks. We shared this meal with my son Carl and Jack, my friend from work who spent endless hours helping me build the back deck off the kitchen. Looking back I remember the highlight of the meal was the simple dessert of homemade ice cream topped with fresh blue berries served with cookies. Sitting there enjoying the meal also reminded me of the day months earlier when Carl and my son-in-law Don spent the day breaking up the old cement landing and stairs at the kitchen’s door to make room for the new deck. Removing the landing and stairs was a hard day's work that paid off with a great place for many good meals outside by the pool.
