HUNGRY GERALD

BSK is influenced by BSK’s memories of HG’s robust appetite of yesteryear. That appetite has diminished as the old guy (95 in November, hopefully) keeps getting older. So, BSK cooks an exuberant amount of food resulting in many containers of leftovers in the fridge. Anticipating lunch, HG examined the leftovers: chicken soup; fish stew; polenta; couscous; sheet pan hake;roast chicken. HG chose the lusty chicken soup and it was splendid when reheated with a splash of sesame oil and sriracha.  HG’s son-in-law, Massimo Riva, the brilliant Professor/author, is keen on leftovers. He eats them all accompanied by chunks of bread. His lunch drink is tea or water–wine if it’s a leftover dinner. HG doesn’t classify a second night (double header) as a left over. Just a dinner cooked in an amount for dinner two nights in a row (a BSK specialty).
