BSK purchased two favorite Prince Edward Island summer favorites–Hake from Julio’s Seafood and Sweet Corn from Teddy’s farm stand. They were the basis for two tasty dinners at HG/BSK’s oceanfront home. BSK cooked the hake on a sheet pan in the oven. The fish rested on sliced potatoes and chopped garlic. Lorts of herbs and spices plus olive oil and clam broth. This was accompanied by corn on the cob that received classic treatment. Boiled briefly. Butter and coarse sea salt. BSK (rightfully so) frowns upon getting fancy with corn on the cob–such as grilling, roasting and flavoring with outlandish condiments. Keep it simple. BSK saved a few cobs and the next night made crispy, piquant corn fritters to accompany the gently heated hake leftovers. There was a hint of sadness in the dining. The days dwindle down for fresh corn.. Have to wait till next year for this seasonal pleasure.
Dear Gerry: hatches battened down there? ?

Safe and sound in Providence, R.I. (we have bought a great loft here and will begin moving when the sale of our New Mexico home closes at end of this month). PEI property survived the hurricane with very slight damage.If you and MJ ever venture east, a loft bedroom and bath await you. Rhode Island is The Ocean State and seafood capital of the world so the dining is exceptional.
