Kim has been posting some amazing pictures of her mother and father and their family on her flickr account and this particular photo of her father has had me laughing out loud all weekend. Kim’s dad, Rufino, or Jun, or ‘Uncle Lakay’ as a lot of the family calls him (which means Uncle Old Man), is a real character and one hell of a good cook. He was a chef in the US Navy and, fortunately for him, the Navy trained him to cook for large groups of people at a time so whipping up food for the barcada get-togethers is no real feat for him. He makes the best gravy I have ever had, and to watch him prepare bangus can be mesmerizing.
We thought this picture was so amazing that we decided to make a t-shirt with it on cafepress. We’d like to get all of his godchildren to buy one (which is practically everyone in the family) and show up at one of the parties with them all wearing them so we can show him how much we appreciate his hard work and dirty jokes.
