HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, BSK is a killer home chef. Every night BSK delights HG with a fabulous dinner. HG sups and at the end of the meal, sighs, smiles and says: “That was the best ever”. HG means it and HG is a finicky foodie. HG is impressed at how BSK can explore the fridge and pantry and, being thrifty and hating waste, can improvise inventive and creative meals. Last night was an example. There were some leftover sea scallops which BSK seared quickly. Onions, garlic, and parsley were in the sofrito, A fresh red pepper was chopped into small pieces and sauteed. Vinegar peppers (They had nestled in the fridge for a few weeks), over the hill arugula, baby spinach, and a dash of tomato paste went into the food processor  (Plus the sofrito and a bit more olive oil) and then was heated. The scallops and peppers were added to the pungent sauce and served over linguine. Finally, BSK gave it a hit of lime juice. (“Best ever!!)
