HUNGRY GERALD

Nostalgic dinner for HG. Alas, BSK didn’t share. BSK said she doesn’t like hot dogs and never did. During their courtship and early marital days, HG/BSK often had franks and beans at HG/BSK’s Upper West Side apartment and Fire Island beach house. BSK would enhance the Heinz baked beans with sauteed onions, ketchup and a dash of Tabasco. Dish made HG happy when accompanied by chilled beer. So, last night HG grilled three Schneider’s franks (Alas, no ketchup in the fridge,  but HG enhanced the beans with Chinese Bulldog Sauce and Sambal Oelek. The Hebrew Nationals of old were not available on Prince Edward Island but Schneider’s is a worthy all beef substitute.) Had the tube steaks with PEI mustard pickle. Heavenly combo. Local ale. Joyous journey into the past.
