HUNGRY GERALD

HG/BSK and gifted daughter, Lesley R., will soon be leaving the family oceanfront home on serene and green Prince Edward Island for their Rhode Island homes. The last PEI suppers were lush, lusty–super yummy. There was okra in the fridge so BSK made a big pot of chicken and chorizo gumbo—it was enough for two dinners and lunches. HG will not write more about gumbo cooked by BSK (and son Jeremy), Check the HG archive—there are almost ten gumbo posts–all recalling joyous suppers. Last night was Rosh Hashanah ((Happy New Year!!!).  BSK’s sister, Noel M. and her husband Yossi M., drove from their Ocean Mist Farm on the south shore of PEI to the HG/BSK/RIVA home on the north shore to celebrate. BSK and Lesley collaborated on a dinner of seared tuna (caught in the local sea) on a bed of rice noodles mixed with jalapeno peppers, radish, cucumber, sugar snap peas, scallions, cherry tomatoes, cilantro and mint. Lesley made a spectacular Asian dressing incorporating garlic and ginger. Fabulous. Dessert was French Vanilla ice cream with surprisingly splendid strawberries from Nova Scotia. All made fervent New Year wishes.
