HUNGRY GERALD

HG is very fond of omelets. HG first  discovered their deliciousness in HG’s initial visit to Paris many, many decades ago. Portrait of pleasure: HG seated at a Left Bank cafe. On the table is a two or three egg omelet (“Baveuse”, runny, as requested.) Fresh baguette and sweet butter. Wedge of ripe camembert or brie. Red wine. Visual pleasure of intellectual Frenchmen and elegant Parisiennes. (Creative scarf arrangements). In New York, HG often dined at omelet specialist (Long closed) Romaine de Lyon. HG has written about it and mentioned it was a favorite of Mel Brooks and the late Anne Bancrioft. (Check HG archive). BSK delights HG with BSK’s perfect omelets (Served for dinner at HG/BSK’s oceanfront home on Prince Edward Island and spacious loft in Central Falls, RI.) BSK enhanced HG’s PEI omelet last night with a Mexican side dish of sauteed zucchini, onions, garlic, etc. Zesty eating—BSK saved some of the mix and folded it into BSK’s hearty breakfast omelet.  Eggcellent, indeed!!
