Hooray and huzzah. Brilliant daughter Lesley R. and husband, Profesore/Ufficiale/Dottore Massimo have arrived on Prince Edward Island. They brought with them an abundance of good things: Wines, olive oil, foie gras, hard-to-find pastas, smoked sea salt, French cheese. Plus, best of all, Pip, their adorable, super-intelligent, female dog. Pip is Toby, The Wonder Dog’s favorite companion. The furry little fellow is overjoyed. Greeted by beautiful weather. Sunny days on the beach with much kayaking, swimming, frisbee tossing, beach glass gathering. Dinners have been festive. BSK’s lavish, smoky seafood stew composed of mussels, haddock, clams, thick cut smoked bacon, PEI potatoes, fish stock, white wine, clam broth, garlic, onions and parsley. This was accompanied by HG’s spicy rouille and a super baguette produced by John the Baker and sold at the Cardigan Farmers Market. On another night, BSK (assisted by Lesley R.) made a memorable pesto of garlic scapes from Ocean Mist Farm. HG’s signature fried hake and seasonal PEI yellow beans. Strawberry/rhubarb pie al la mode for dessert. Joy and laughter.
