HUNGRY GERALD

Gifted daughter Lesley R. reached back to her years as a resident of Venice and cooked a traditional La Serenissima dish. It’s called “schie” (not sure about the spelling or pronunciation). It consists of small shrimp (here at the Freeman/Riva family home on Prince Edward Island the variety used comes from Newfoundland) mixed with soupy polenta and lots of spices and herbs. Quite yummy. The other dishes served at supper were sauteed squash and mushrooms (cooked by excellent Son Jeremy) and a sprightly tomato salad. Pleasant eating on a warm summer night in PEI.
