HUNGRY GERALD

O, it’s good to be in the serene joy of HG/BSK/LESLEY R.’ S Prince Edward Island summer paradise. One day drive from Rhode Island with BSK and Lesley R. driving. Toby, The Wonder Dog, and Pip, the intelligent and sensitive female pooch are civilized travelers.  Prince Edward Island is unique. Anxieties and worries melt away in the sun, sea breezes and serenity in the family oceanfront “cottage” (In Canada, that’s what they call a vacation home, no matter if it’s grand, monumental, modest or minimal). Lots of unpacking and making the “cottage” ready for occupancy. Meals were swiftly prepared and tasty.  Lesley made an excellent linguine and sardine pasta one night and followed it up with a cornucopia of local mussels in tangy sea broth served over spaghetti. Good New York restaurants always label their mussel dishes as “PEI”. Not surprising. They are the best mussels in the world and many thousands are farmed and harvested in St. Peter’s Bay, just a mile away from the “cottage.”.
