Dinner last night at Chez Riva, the art and book filled Riverside, RI, home (quick drive from HG/BSK’s Central Falls loft) of gifted daughter Lesley R. and brilliant husband, Massimo R. Warmed by a wood stove fire, the group were delighted by the sunset over the home’s spectacular water view. Massimo poured an icy sparkling rose’, the perfect drink with an hors d’oeuvre of whitefish salad. Off to the dinner table for briny Rhode Island oysters. A lusty mushroom pasta featuring a melange of mushrooms including porcini and shitake followed. Generous dusting of freshly grated parmesan and grinds of black pepper brought HG to pasta heaven. Cheese course of fontina and gorgonzola with fig jam. Wine was a tasty red Bordeaux uncorked by Profesore Massimo. Lesley climaxed the meal for HG with a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream. Fagmilia !!!
HG is a very lucky 94-year-old.
