HUNGRY GERALD

Another delightful dinner cooked by gifted daughter, Lesley R. (BSK was the sous chef). Last night’s extravaganza was fish tacos. Lesley baked haddock filets in the oven on a sheet pan. The fish was then sliced and mixed with lime juice, scallions, cilantro and a bit of olive oil. Flour tortillas were steamed. On the table were an array of hot sauces, Lesley’s tasty, spicy sour cream sauce; lemon wedges. There was also a platter of chopped herbs, endive leaves, avocado, sliced radish. (HG added radish, avocado and sour cream sauce to HG’s fish portion). The fish and condiments were spooned into pieces of tortilla and then folded. This is Mexico City style and prevents juices from dripping on clothing. Accompanied by Prince Edward Island Gahan’s red ale, this was the best taco meal HG has ever had. Adding to the splendor of dinner, was an appetizer of oysters flawlessly shucked by HG/BSK’s distinguished son-in-law, Massimo R. Yes, it’s a good life at HG/BSK’s PEI oceanfront home.
