Lemon Verbena Whiskey Sour from A Thought For Food
Life is beauty through and throughLife is sunny, life is coolLife is even easy tooBut if my word is to be trueLife is something to beholdBut if the truth is to be toldLet us not leave out any partDo not fear, it's safe to say it hereYou will not be called a weakling nor a fraudFor feeling the pain of the whole wide worldYou want to help but can't help the feeling you cannotAnd it's killing you while you're just trying to smile from your heartSo go on, say it, on the same knees you're prayingYes, life is hard

Profile: Bronwyn (Somerville, MA)
Last week, I was asked to photograph Bronwyn, a Somerville restaurant that opened last year, for Tasting Table. Tim Wiechmann's other restaurant, TW Food, is one of my favorites, so this was on my list of places to check out. The food looked wonderful and I was impressed by their extensive beer selection (I'm going to have to get the name of the beer I photographed because it was fantastic, and, while I like beer, I'm usually not one to go crazy over it). Here are some of the dishes that are featured: a parsnip soup, their (enormous) pretzel, spatzle, and bratwurst. The decor is really fun as well and it was a lot of fun using their rustic tables as a backdrop.
