On this Father’s Day 2009, Spring sliped away at 1:45 this morning, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. The sun reached its summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Joan rose early and prepared this casserole for our brunch. Michael was home for the weekend and he joined us at the table. While the day outside got off on a dreary, misty start, this dish immediately transformed the gloom into smiley faces.
