A nice little sandwich

Last night, lovely reader Ashley complained that my photos of The Boy's creations made her feel inadequate; here we were, enjoying fabulous roasted veggies, while she sat down to horseradish and sauerkraut sandwiches (at least I think that's what she said; I was halfway through a bottle of South African Riesling at the time).

So lest you should think we're constantly in the kitchen, throwing together fantastic dishes, I wanted to let you know that sometimes we have sandwiches, too:



Slow-braised short ribs with a truffled grilled-cheese on brioche. The beef was fall-apart tender, with a fabulously rich, dark intensity. The sandwich was buttery, slightly sweet, and the bread had the lightest toasty crunch. Just looking at the photo is making me salivate at the memory.

But hey, we didn't make it; this was from Sidney's Grille at the Meridian in Cambridge (formerly the Hotel at MIT; for some reason, the restaurant gets only a passing mention on their corporate site).

So Ashley, do you feel better now?
