On the second evening of the 2025 visit of marvelous colleagues from Virginia, the dinner we sat down to was intended to be a special one: deviled beef short ribs, mashed potatoes, and roasted herbed asparagus spears. The sweet mustard sauce for adornment seemed to hit the right accompanying note as well, and more good wine was poured first into glasses and then into us. That Friday night continued our chilled rain event but that was just the incentive we needed to indulge in the long post-dinner conversation, the easy laughs, the happy reminiscences, the spirited consideration of topics thorny and mundane...and quite a few more pieces of delicious shortbread cookies.
