HG/BSK are safe and sound at the Riverside, RI, home of gifted daughter, Lesley R., and HG/BSK’s “Edem” (son in law in Yiddish), the brilliant Profesore Massimo R. Dinners are spectacular (Thanks, Lesley). Tonight, the starter was prosciutto with melon, figs, and tasty thin slices of Italian salami. Crusty bread, of course.The melon and figs were pure sweetness, the best HG ever ate. The Parma prosciutto was perfect. This was followed by a tomato-feta cheese -cucumber salad. The tomatoes (possibly last of season) rivaled New Jersey wonders. Main dish was a hearty corn chowder (the succulent corn is also the last of season). Then there was ripe brie accompanied by fig jam. Good white wine and red wine flowed. HG’s dessert was a small bowl of Talenti Salt Caramel ice cream. Yes, life is short and the end is unpleasant. So, in the meantime, let’s have a splendid meal.
