HUNGRY GERALD

Cold Sunday in Rhode Island. However, HG was warm and snug in HG/BSK’s sumptuous Central Falls loft. And, a special treat–some six or morehours of  TV football (49’ers vs. Lions; Ravens vs. Chiefs). Winners go to the Superbowl on Feb. 11. 49er’s were behind 17 points at half time but won in a comeback. The Chiefs won with a great Mahomes performance and a crucial goal line Ravens fumble. During the Chiefs game, HG nibbled cashews and drank a pleasant chilled white wine from Italy’s Friuli Region. HG switched to a Pinot Noir for the next game and ate BSK’s tasty ratatouille with slices of a top flight baguette. During the last stages of the San Francisco comeback, HG had a dessert of vanilla ice cream topped with a splash of maple syrup. A snifter of elderberry liqueur followed. A very happy day.
