A Meal to Save the Soul






On a notably cold and wet Williamsburg weekend we had the distinct pleasure of playing host to one Sarah McPherson. For me, cooking is about more than just providing sustenance. It is a form of entertainment. It is an excuse to sit around the kitchen over a bottle of wine and reminisce about the past. As is to be expected the idiosyncrasies of Gainesville life were well covered. A comment on Bohannan's gas station, run by a family of extremely questionable genetic diversity, had Sam almost choking to death with laughter. Sarah provided a goat cheese and roasted honey-tomato crostini for an appetizer (not pictured). The arugula salad was garnished with yellow cherry tomatoes, fresh sweet corn, cannellini beans, and crushed pecans, dressed with a white balsamic vinaigrette. The main course was a soul-satisfying, albiet coma-inducing beef, pork, and veal bolognese over shells and roasted mixed vegetables on the side. Thanks to Alice for the very flattering photos. You always make my food look so good!
