Coping through Cuisine, Hannibal's house, Monday evening
Hannibal greeted everyone as they came in, and sat them around the dining table.
"Good evening to you all. Today in the local area is a holiday about romance, and I hope nobody here has a romantic partner. If you do, and they celebrate this or you suspect they might, I suggest you go to them instead of staying here.
"Meanwhile, the rest of us will experience yet another facet of coping and comforting with food - cooking for others and letting others cook for you." He smiled. "For me, cooking is both relaxing and exhilarating, and I always enjoy cooking for people. On an occasion like today, which seems to demand that anybody not precisely conforming to expectations should feel bad, comfort can be especially welcome, and coming together to eat a good meal can be an act of both comfort and defiance."
He waved at the food on the table. "So, today we have mushroom and spinach stuffed beef heart, pappardelle alla lepre, roasted white asparagus with herbes de provence, roasted wild mushrooms and potatoes, and savory roasted root vegetables. There are wines to match, or water if you prefer. For dessert, there is upside-down blood orange polenta cake, buttermilk panna cotta with apricot and candied fennel, and pistachio cardamom butter cookies, along with coffee, tea, and Italian hot chocolate.
"So, bon appetit, and you may all take home some leftovers if you like. Let us enjoy some good food."

She took a little bit of everything and was now looking forward to just sinking into a good food coma once it was all done.
