HUNGRY GERALD

HG has some problems swallowing pasta after surgery narrowed HG’s throat some decades ago. “Al dente” pasta Italian style (preferred by HG’s brilliant son-in-law, Professor Massimo R.) is particularly difficult—it tastes like shredded cardboard. Easy to swallow, very soft pasta is messy and has a negative mouth feel. In the middle is the perfect pasta–reasonably firm but comfortable eating for HG. BSK, as usual, achieved pasta perfection in a supper of linguine in cauliflower/blue cheese sauce. HG  had two big bowls and could have made inroads on a third. BSK is a blessing.
