HUNGRY GERALD

Monday used to be a gloomy day for HG—back to school, back to work, etc. Not anymore. There’s Monday night NFL on TV and, of course, BSK’s creative and delicious suppers. Last night it was BSK’s shrimp and cannellini bean stew, spicy and lush dish, HG/BSK drank a chilled Chablis, a perfect companion. Glenn, HG/BSK’s generous and helpful neighbor, left a gift of carrot cake and turkey soup, The cake, fine cream cheese frosting, was a splendid dessert. Turkey soup for lunch tomorrow. Life is good at HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft.
