HUNGRY GERALD

Market Basket is a New England chain of supermarkets. Thankfully, one is a quick drive from HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft. The markets are huge and house a voluminous amount of products. Everything is fresh, high quality and well priced. BSK shops there frequently. Yesterday, BSK picked up some haddock filets and sweet potatoes for dinner. Considerate BSK also bought some jars of Rao’s Wedding Soup. This is HG’s favorite meal when dining alone. Dash of olive oil, a few drops of hot sauce, dusting of parmesan. A delight. For dinner, BSK roasted the sweet potatoes (They spent some time in the oven). When the sweet spuds were almost done, BSK dipped the filets in an egg and fish fry batter and fried them to succulent  perfection. Better than any fish and chips dish. (The filets were thick so they combined crisp exteriors with lush, not overdone, interiôrs. Deft touch at the skillet by BSK). The potatoes got a hit of  butter (for HG) and·sour cream (for BSK). There was creamed spinach for HG and a green salad for BSK.  Much Chilean red wine. HG’s traditional dessert of chestnut puree and whipped cream.  Rhody gourmands.
