HUNGRY GERALD

There’s usually bad news from Bangladesh: Fire, Flood, Transportation accidents, Factory disasters, Riots, Major and minor accidents of all kinds. The saving grace is very good food. Gifted daughter Lesley R. and her illustrious husband, Massimo R., proved that last night. They braved a rainstorm and came to HG/BSK’s Central Falls loft bearing a Bangladeshi feast for dinner. Two very wet dogs–Pip and Toby–accompanêd them. The feast: Okra in a piquant sauce; spinach, samosas, eggplant, lamb curry, chicken curry; naan and other tasty breads, a variety of excellent chutneys; large container of rice. Dessert: Wonderful Bangladeshi rice pudding.
