HUNGRY GERALD

A grey day on Prince Edward Island which turned sunny in late afternoon. An enjoyable supper (dinner) at the family oceanfront home. HG/BSK,son Jeremy and his pre-teen daughter, the adorable Teru comprised the unusually small group at the dining table. During the summer there are as many as 10 hungry folks at supper. (This night HG/BSK daughter Lesey R. and her husband, Massimo, were in Charlottetown dining with friends Silva and Neb. Silva is the architect of the HG/BSK/RIVA home and Professor Neb is a distinguished academic. The visiting Tokyoites–Jeremy’s wife, Maiko Sakamoto, son Haru and Maiko’s Mom, Kyoko Sakamoto, are back in that city.) So, Jeremy was in charge of supper (lucky us) and it was glorious—crisp fried hake, in-season yellow beans with a delectable sauce, crispy potato nuggets baked in the oven with a smear of duck fat. The spuds were inspired by the famed Paris bistro–L’Ami Louis. The dinner at home was a bargain. Dinner at the Paris bistro costs $150-175 per person.
