Most everyone has (or had) at least one father in their life. At one time I had three. One was Dad, who, sadly, has been gone for 9 years, my father-in-law and my husband, who is my daughter's father. All of three are (or were) very special men. I'd like to share a few of their favorite treats.

My Dad

My Father-in-Law

My Husband

Boiled Peanuts
Another treat my husband will get on Father's Day is boiled peanuts. He loves to munch on them while watching sports on T.V. Of course, he'll watch as much of the World Cup as possible.
