HUNGRY GERALD

HG loves pastry. French breakfast is a croissant (or brioche or buttered baguette ) with coffee. Italians like it sweet–pastry with their coffee or double espresso. HG favors the Italian breakfast version. Lesley (HG/BSK’s gifted and generous daughter) dropped off a box of Spanish pastries at HG/BSKs’ Central Falls, RI, loft. Had a splendid, sweet, good thing this morning and a lush custard filled pastry for dessert last night after a BSK-created dinner of flounder steamed over chopped spinach and broccoli di rabe. The dish was served with a pot of fluffy rice. That means a lunch of BSK congee tomorrow. Yumarooney pastries, comforting congee. Much bliss for HG.
