You are welcome. I have great respect for those who jump out of planes or dive in submarines or serve in any other capacity.
My father was in the Air Force as a cook, but got out before I was born. It gave him a passion for traveling as I grew up.

It must not have been an easy job to feed the men of his unit!! Many a good chef came out of the service. Despite all the jokes about military food, my father never complained about it – he actually liked it quite a bit!

No doubt. He was a good cook, but he never quiet got the knack that he was cooking for 6, and not 100 – 200. We had lots of leftovers when he did cook.

If you froze all the extra – it was your father who invented the frozen TV dinner, eh?!! 🙂

Pretty much. At times, we had a deep freezer which meant we might go a week with leftovers every night.
He died unexpectedly at 47 back in 1977 and we don’t have any of the recipes he made, but I wish he had written them down.

So young, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost mine in 1988 at the age of 74. (He was about 10 years older than the other troopers.) I still him, he was my rock.
