HG/BSK are still enjoying life (despite the craziness in the USA) in HG/BSK’s ocean front home on beautiful, democratic, gentle Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province. HG/BSK are keeping warm, cozy and well nourished and not leaving until New Mexico has Covid-19 under control. PEI is safe. No Covid-19 cases as the cooperating population wear masks, observes social distancing and pays attention to health warnings. Yes, that’s what life is like in a democracy where people–liberal, conservative, green–care for one another and violence and hate are rare. Dinner is always festive. Last night the pasta shape was fiorelli. The al dente fiorelli were covered in BSK’s unique cauliflower sauce. BSK blanched florets and sauced them with a magical amalgam of blue cheese, white wine, chicken stock, capers, garlic and anchovies. Delight. Besides doing wonderful things with chicken, pork, chopped beef chili; lentil, vegetable, and chickpea soups, etc., BSK turns out the best pasta dishes. These are some of the sauces: Broccoli; zucchini with bacon and ricotta; eggplant (a la Norma); Italian jarred tuna; Portuguese sardines with raisins and garlic. There are many others and BSK (or HG) selects the appropriate pasta shape for each dish. Yes, living well is the best revenge.
