HUNGRY GERALD

“Improv” is short for “improvisation,” of course. In theatrical terms, it means performing without a script (often acting out a suggestion from the audience), relying upon creativity and actor skills. BSK was an “improv” star during BSK’s theatrical career. And, her culinary “improvs”are just as impressive.  Last night, BSK examined items in the fridge and pantry—and improvised an outstanding, lush supper  (one of the best ever). The main dish consisted of ground chicken cooked on the oven range. This was added to a pot of boiling stock with okra (HG’s favorite veggie), couscous, cherry tomatoes, parsley plus herbs and spices. Heat was turned down to simmer for all the flavors to integrate. Each serving got a dollop of Harissa, the Moroccan hot sauce.  Mind blowing, fabulous eating. HG beseeched BSK to add this to the BSK chicken repertoire and make it often (with more okra, if possible).  Yes,it was another joyous night at the HG/BSK/RIVA  family home on serene and green Prince Edward Island.
