HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, BSK’s gumbo is the best. As noted in a previous post: “Better Than N’awlins”. A dark roux, file powder thickener, chock full of chicken, shrimp, sausage, okra, onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. Tasty and comforting. Great cold weather fare. (HG would also eat it with pleasure on blistering summer nights). Visiting friends Peter Hellman; his wife, Susan Cohen;HG/BSK’s daughter Lesley R. and her husband, Massimo R., joined HG/BSK at the dinner table and gumbo reigned.  Small bit left over and Lesley took it home for Monday dinner (Monday is her super busy work day).The group drank a great Chablis brought by wine expert Peter. A wow!! Not to be outdone, Massimo brought an excellent wine. Happy table enriched by laughter and robust appetites. Gumbo glory.
