HUNGRY GERALD

HG was weak and dizzy for most of the day. HG had trouble getting up from a seated position–needed help from BSK. Walking was impossible. Bleary eyed and no appetite. HG mused: Is this the end? To quote BSK’s maternal grandmother: Is HG going to “slip off this mortal coil” ? BSK to the rescue. BSK surmised HG was seriously dehydrated–had not drunk any water during the day. BSK gave HG three big glasses of ice water. HG drank them all and gradually began to feel much better. Leslie French, HG/BSK’s beautiful friend and neighbor, was the dinner guest. BSK cooked a tasty Morocco influenced chicken tagine. Splendid food but HG would find it difficult to swallow. Instead, HG supped on a big bowl of chicken broth enriched with rice noodles, beaten egg, and silken tofu (For protein). HG relished the meal and began to feel alive. Dessert was Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream topped with BSK’s rhubarb/strawberry compote. HG was active and eager to continue joyous living at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home.
