HUNGRY GERALD

Yossi M., HG/BSK’s brother-in-law (he’s married to BSK’s sister, Noel) has turned 81. No longer a youth –but alert, wiry, strong. So, a birthday party at Noel and Yossi’s home, the verdant Ocean Mist Farm, near Panmure Island on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, was required. HG/BSK, gifted daughter, Lesley R., and her husband, Massimo, arrived at Ocean Mist  with much wine–Rose’, White and Red. Yes, there were to be many toasts celebrating the Birthday Boy and generous drinking with the main dish, salad and dessert.   HG had made a food request of Noel, some time ago—Cincinnati  Chile (inspired by her and Yossi’s college days in that city). The chile is served over spaghetti and has a middle eastern flavor from cinnamon and other regional spices. HG likes it. Happily, it was the main dish and HG had many portions with Rose’ wine.  Dessert was birthday cake and ice cream. Yossi blew out the candles and HG drank red wine. Excellent party.
