HUNGRY GERALD

BSK and daughter, Lesley R., are very concerned about HG’s nutrition and HG’s longevity. HG is flattered. Obviously, with all of HG’s faults and short temper, they want the old guy around. So, lunch is important. HG’s lunch choice is Thai Kitchen rice noodle soup with a lot of silken tofu and sesame oil plus hot sauce for flavoring. When thin sliced white (or rye) bread is available, HG enjoys a sardine sandwich enriched with Kewpie Mayonnaise, Maille Mustard and a dash of Sambal Oelek. But, the best lunch is one that Lesley R. prepared for her Dad the last two days: Soft leftover grits, a bit of broth and hot sauce, gently swirled scrambled eggs. Gently heated with a cup of steaming coffee on the table, this is a superlative lunch that keeps HG happy until the cocktail hour and the subsequent tasty dinner prepared by HG’s family (all have culinary skills). HG is blessed to have a skilled and caring family.
