HUNGRY GERALD

Maiko tempura. This might be the world’s best dish. All the  folks at HG/BSK’s dinner table at the Freeman/Riva Prince Edward Island ocean front home agreed: Maiko tempura is sublime — each succulent morsel of fish, vegetable or shrimp a flavor bomb. Unfairly, Maiko remains busy at the fry pan, serving her tempura piping hot so the family can indulge. Finally, when everyone else is done. Maiko eats. HG finished with ice cream and chestnut purée. Despite old age disasters, HG snatches some pleasure.
