HUNGRY GERALD

HG/BSK,daughter Lesley and her husband, Massimo, are having a happy reunion with son Jeremy and Teru, his beautiful pre-teen daughter. The rest of the Tokyo family (Maiko Sakamoto; tall and husky son, Haru; Kyoko Sakamoto, Maiko’s Mom) are back in that city and missing Prince Edward Island and the happy times all shared at the HG/BSK/RIVA oceanfront home. Jeremy and Teru will be on PEI until the end of the month. Joy. Among the pleasures are Teru’s dessert service for HG (last night it was strudel and ice cream) and Jeremy’s talented cooking. Supper was a Jeremy extravaganza–a North African vegetable stew (sweet potatoes,parsnips,zucchini, onions, garlic,etc. served on a bed of quinoa and enhanced by hot sauce) and spicy and juicy chicken. Jeremy marinated the chicken in a picante  and flavorful marinade. He roasted the bird in the oven and gave it a crisping in a hot cast iron pan. The chicken was spectacular—among the best HG ever tasted. And, the veggie stew was the perfect companion (as was the generous pouring of Pinot Noir).
