HUNGRY GERALD

Happy, happy HG. So glad to welcome the safe and sound BSK after BSK’s mammoth flight from Tokyo. BSK had a grand time there–enjoying BSK’s loving reunion with son Jeremy, his wife, Maiko, and their grown up children, Haru and Teru. (BSK will author posts in coming days giving all the details). Gifted daughter,Lesley R., took superlative care of HG in BSK’s absence–HG is very grateful. However, HG was lonely in HG/BSK’s king size bed–BSK’s fragrance, ambience and bed talk are very welcome—BSK’s presence warms up HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft. (Yes, after 61 years, HG is still in love with BSK). Thoughtful Lesley left a welcoming pot of chickpea soup (a riff on Marcella Hazan’s recipe). Yum!!. The next night, a tired but active BSK cooked a fabulous linguine in a sardine sauce dish. The basic ingredient was Portuguese premium sardines bought at Portugalia (A giant Portuguese food and wine emporium in Fall River, MA.–must  go there and buy sardines for upcoming summer stay at HG/BSK’s oceanfront home on Prince Edward Island).
