A Special Something for a Special Dad.

Seeing as how I made my mum scones on Mothers’ Day, it was really only fair that I made my dad something a little indulgent today. And I knew just the thing to make his day just that little bit more special.

You see, my dad loves his pastries, a particular fondness he does a pretty good job at resisting (unless we’re in a particular hotel that serves these little pastries with fresh mango slices as part of their breakfast pastries, then it’s a whole different story). So I figured, Fathers’ Day is probably as good a reason as any to indulge a little. Besides, life is too short- you have to live a little right?

So sliced peach pastries it was (mangoes were going at the ridiculous price of 5 bucks each!).

I think it’s pretty much an understatement when I say my dad really liked this. I left one out on the patio for him with a glass of barley to wash it down while he was hard at work under the scorching sun in the garden. He came by a little later and proceeded to help himself to another one while telling me how good they were and how they looked right out of a bakery.

I’m just really glad he liked it. I wish there was more I could do than just give my dad a huge hug and wish him a happy Fathers’ day but for now, these pastries will have to do.
