HUNGRY GERALD

Seasonal springtime asparagus. Three eggs. Butter. Frank’s Hot Sauce. Sea salt. Ground black pepper. These were the ingredients for a large tasty omelet that HG devoured with pleasure last night accompanied by a robust Portuguese red wine. BSK cooked it perfectly (SJ is also a deft omelet cook). HG has been pleading (Without results) for an omelet dinner. Tired of HG’s whimpering, BSK finally gave in. The result: A very happy old fellow. HG reminded BSK that when Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft lived in New York, they often dined at the Romaine de Lyon omelet bistro. And, that’s where Brooks wrote the first draft of “The Producers”.
