Thoughtful, brilliant daughter Lesley R. and her equally brilliant husband, Massimo R., make generous efforts to provide HG/BSK with culinary pleasures when they make a stop over in Rhode Island before moving on to their New Mexico home. They concentrate on feasts unobtainable in the Santa Fe area even though “The City Different” has many outstanding restaurants (green chile rules). Thus, Leasley and Massim followed up their Chinese dinner with an Indian extravaganza. Takeout from a local Indian restaurant included saag paneer, eggplant, dal, lamb vindaloo and numerous varieties of naan and doass (accompanied by chutneys, mint sauces, raita, etc.). Can’t recall all of the dishes because HG was maddened by food lust). The next night was enlightened home cooking: Shrimp with grits and lightly baked fluke filets ( a la Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey). Sea pleasures. Are HG/BSK lucky? You betcha!!
