Myra the Entertainer

In the Berg family, Myra may be the party queen, but Mary rules the pantry. When it’s Myra’s turn to entertain, Mary steps in to let Myra flourish as the social butterfly instead of a “so-so” cook. For Myra and her friends, Mary makes some stout-boosted beer-braised short ribs and a warm kale and brussel sprout slaw punched up with pomegranate seeds. For dessert, Mary bakes a crowd-pleasing carrot cake that these ladies may never recover from.
