Westside Provisions District News

Rich, filling and rib-sticking are just a few of the adjectives normally

associated with comfort food. But, as acclaimed food writer Virginia Willis points out in a Reuters interview, it’s a misconception to assume that Southern food is a heart attack on a plate.

Comfort food and Southern fare aren’t all about butter and fat, especially the way they’re done at WSPD, with fresh, local ingredients and a refined simplicity, We asked our chefs to dish about their favorite winter comfort foods. See the story on pages 4-5.

Sing A SongA favorite WSPD Holiday tradition is back again this year! Kids and parents alike will love singing carols with UGA’s Noteworthy chorus Saturdays this season at Westside Provisions District

For the past several seasons, the young ladies from UGA’s Noteworthy a capella

group have road-tripped down from Athens to spread their holiday cheer throughout the district. Noteworthy was founded in 1988 and to this day remains UGA’s only female a

capella group. The group specializes in voice-only renditions songs. They’ve released three commercial recordings, topped the college music charts and have won CARA awards from the Contemporary A Capella Society. They’re currently recording a new CD, due out this spring.

On Saturdays, November 24th through December 15th from 12pm to 2pm, bring the whole family to the District to catch Noteworthy caroling. Like them on Facebook at facebook.com/uganoteworthy for news and event notices.

Boutique De NoëlAs part of our Tinsel and Twine celebration, floral designer Marie-Laure Coste-Dujols is back with her acclaimed holiday décor pop-up, Boutique De Noël, open Tuesday-Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sundays 12pm to 6pm

Floral and garden designer Marie-Laure Coste-Dujols inspires Atlanta

this holiday season creating a whimsical boutique using monochromactic earthy colors and elements that can be found in nature at this time of year. Boutique de Noël offers sophisticated and elegant holiday décor including boxwood topiaries, potted bulbs such as classic paperwhites, plus ornaments, wreaths and garlands made of moss, rosemary, eucaluptus—and much more.

Marie-Laure’s design philosophy’s objective is to recognize the most beautiful specimens of what is provided naturally and to create something beautiful from what might otherwise not even be seen. Boutique de Noël is open through December 15th at 1100 Howell Mill Road, near the parking deck across from Perrine’s Wine Shop. Visit lejardinfrancais.com for more information.

Using a paring knife cut small diagonal slits in the pork 1 inch apart. Inside each slit put a slice of jalapeno, garlic and spring onion. Salt and pepper the pork. Grill to your level of doneness. We cook to medium rare and let it sit for 8 minutes until it is just a little pink in the middle. Baste with Cobbie’s Sauce toward the end of grilling. Cut into 1-inch slices and serve with Cobbie’s Sauce.

Food Drive!Founded in 1979, the Atlanta Community Food Bank procures more than 35 million pounds of food and groceries each year and distributes it to over 600 nonprofit partner agencies. You can help!

The Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) has been an invaluable community resource for more than 30

years. They’re located right down the road from WSPD at 732 Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard, and WSPD is hon-ored to partner with them this year for a food donation drive.

We’ve placed food collection barrels at strategic loca-tions throughout the District. These can be found at:

• West Egg Cafe• Tinsel & Twine pop-up• Parking Garage at 1100 Howell Mill• White Provision Residences lobby• Breezeway by Room & Board• Breezeway by Star Provisions• Taqueria del Sol• Bungalow Classic

We welcome your non-perishable food donations through December 31st!

Just Call Her “G”Ever wonder who’s behind WSPD News? That would be Gerlinda Grimes, Manager of Creative Services and long-term employee of Michael Phillips and Kathleen Walker (owners of WSPD).

That’s me, Gerlinda, on the right, pictured in front of Connelly Memorial Baptist Church with my Dad and

my brother circa 1978. Though I no longer regularly chew on straws, I’m still a huge tomboy. You’ll find me behind the scenes in my Puma sneakers and hoodie, snapping photos, updating WSPD’s social media, maintaining the website, coordinating events with Sandi Parker and the rest of our creative team and, of course, writing/design-ing quaint little community newsletters like WSPD News. It’s a sweet gig. I also enjoy playing guitar and taking long walks on the beach (cue Barry White).

My parents swear that my name, Gerlinda, comes from a baby book. I’m pretty sure I’ve spent at least 4,023 hours of my life saying “It’s Gerlinda, like Geronimo.” Please feel free to call me “G.” And, please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have an idea for something you’d like to see happen at Westside Provisions District. We’re al-ways looking for new faces to feature in this column for instance! You’ll find me at [email protected].
