HUNGRY GERALD

Uncross your fingers, HG came home on Friday morning. Getting up stairs was arduous but as the day progressed, HG began to feel better and better. And, why not? Waiting to greet the old fellow were two of the best women in the world–BSK, love of HG’s life; Brilliant gifted Lesley R., the dream daughter. And, Toby the Wonder  Dog, thrilled at his reunion with HG. This is Saturday and HG is feeling like his old self. Just showered with agile aid from BSK. Bliss. First shower in two weeks. HG was smelling like an old gym sock. Ah, the food ! Fried Hake. Teddy’s  Farmstand sweet corn (Montague). Thai ramen with Tofu. BSK smoothies. Liberte (Montreal) yogurt. Chestnut puree desserts. French Vanilla ice cream with maple syrup. Was the food superlative on the homecoming? You Betcha!! Special Report: Lunch today (For HG) was super baveuse scrambled eggs swirled with a patient, gentle touch by Lesley and mixed with an abundance of butter, goat cheese and a splash of  cream and snippets of chives. Lesley served  it with a buttered biscuit. This was the best egg dish HG ever tasted. Yes! Better than any egg dish HG ever tasted in New York and Europe. HG is on a two week medical teetotal. HG drank a no alcohol Rose. Mixed with a lemon squeeze it is palatable (Barely). As HG writes this post, HG. sips a cocktail hour drink of Pellegrino and a splash of Italian lime syrup. Hey, a teetotal life with BSK and Lesley  R. is delightful.
