HUNGRY GERALD

Lucky HG,!  Old guy (96 on the 9th of November). lives with BSK, the Wonder Woman.  BSK has kept HG alive for many, many years with 24/7 loving care. Among BSK’s almost infinite talents is cooking tasty tingling soups. Last night’s supper triumph was escarole/bean soup . The ingredients: Escarole,cannellini beans, a potato, carrots, chicken broth, onions,  garlic and two spices–cumin and aleppo pepper. When cooked, BSK smoothed the melange with an immersion blender (but kept it a bit chunky). HG showered a bowl with grated parmigiano and grinds of black pepper. Accompanied by glasses of pinot noir and chunks of ciabatta (moistened with olive oil), HG  thanked BSK for BSK’s cuisine mastery. One more happy night in HG?BSK’s. Central Falls, RI, loft.
