HUNGRY GERALD

Sun poured into Lesley R.’s Riverside, RI, home (her husband, Massimo, is in Paris lecturing and attending to scholarly duties–returns to Rhody tomorrow night). So, HG/BSK were gifted daughter’s early dinner guests. While food was prepared HG drank a sweet and dry vermouth/ grapefruit bitters cocktail while watching the sun send shafts of light over the expansive water views. HG sipped a glass of white wine while enjoying the appetizer of deviled eggs topped with Tobiko and Trout Roe. Fabulous bow to Easter. HG sipped red wine with Lesley’s extraordinary asparagus and leek risotto. Lesley purees the cooked asparagus stems and leek leaves before adding these ingredients to the rice (Asparagus tips adorn the top of the risotto). Nice touch. HG finished a last glass of red wine with a dessert of handmade pieces of dark chocolate enclosing creamy peanut butter. Another delightful meal Chez Lesley R.
