HUNGRY GERALD

BSK has been dog/house sitting  in Riverside, RI, while gifted daughter Lesley R. and husband, Professor Massimo, are in Padua, Italy. (They have made an offer on an apartment there. Glorious river views. Hope their purchase succeeds). So, BSK, Toby, The Wonder Dog and Pip, the gentle, brilliant female døg, came to HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft in time for dinner last night. BSK brought a pot of asparagus risotto, a leftover from BSK’s previous night’s dinner in Riverside. HG was concerned that the second day risotto would not be good. Not to worry. Warmed in the microwave with a bit of broth added, it was delicious–not mushy and just firm enough. BSK added to the dining pleasure by topping the risotto with some lightly browned, plump and juicy sea scallops.  Utilizing the “”waste not, want not” philosophy, BSK created a dinner that was lush. Much appreciâted by HG. (Latest news: Lesley and Massimo’s offer was accepted and now they are owners of a beautiful Padua residence).
