If your dad like's mushrooms and meat, try this recipe. It's a major hit around here at any time. If he doesn't like mushrooms, try the pinapple drumsticks below. This is a great way to make enough for everyone and you can all sit around and laugh and talk and actually spend time with your dad instead of just taking him out to dinner and leaving. Make a whole day of it. I got a receipe for some awsome mini cheesecakes as well if you want that too for dessert. The nice thing is that all these things take no effort and allow more time with family.

1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 Cup. honey
1/2 Cup. soy sauce
2 TBSP. vegetable oil
Directions
Rinse and drain chicken. Add garlic and cut pineapple into 1 inch cubes. Combine the salt, pepper, honey, soy sauce, pineapple, vegetable oil and garlic in a bowl and mix well. Place drumettes in slow cooker/crock pot and pour sauce over the wings. Cook covered on low setting for 6 to 7 hours.
Fire up a nice BBQ (steak, chops, chicken, whatever) with patatoes and grilled vegetables like zucchni and portobello mushrooms. Serve some nice wine or his fav beer.
