6. LOCAVORE: BUTTERNUT
SQUASH FLAN
RECIPE COURTESY OF VINIA WINE AND KITCHEN
By Orlando’s locavore, Misty Heath
As photographed by Suzy Farmar, @sooziethefoodie
Preheat oven to 400. Cut squash in half and
clean out the squash goo. With skin on, place on
a sheet pan, lightly drizzle with olive oil and roast
until soft and fork tender (about 40 minutes).
Remove squash from the oven and allow to
slightly cool. With a spoon or knife, remove the
skin and allow squash to cool completely. Butter
a 9 X 13 baking dish (glass or metal). In a blender
or food processor, add in all ingredients and
purée until smooth and silky. Pour into pan and
bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees, rotating the pan
halfway through cooking. Set aside to allow to
cool slightly.
I’ve been a fan of Vinia Wine & Kitchen
since day one. This cozy wine bar is
tucked away in a quaint area of Hannibal
Square in Winter Park. It’s perfect
for a low key drink with friends or
coworkers, or that first date place with
good lighting. Fabio Perricelli and Paula
Gamba are Vinia’s charming owners.
Fabio, who was born in Italy, and Paula
came to Orlando from Brazil to open
their wine baby last fall.
The couple have an amazing back story
that includes wine making, goat farming,
suspenders, and a serendipitous trip to
Shake Shack that brought them to be part
of our community. They’re great people,
amazing storytellers, and you feel like old
friends from the moment you enter their
world.
In addition to great wines, Vinia boasts a
lovely menu that is satisfying, beautifully
presented, and won’t break the piggy
bank. When they first offered to teach me
the ins and outs of this gorgeous dish,
I was intimidated. My thought bubbles
included, “Flan? Nage—what the heck is
that? So many components...heck no.”
Vinia’s crew was confident from the start
that this dish is sure to impress, and
doable for the non-seasoned cook. With
a few tweaks, this dish is approachable,
perfect for guests, healthyish, and
ingredients are relatively cheap, available,
and super seasonal.
To find out how to make the rest of
the dish at home, including the pan-
seared cod and the spinach with
lemon sage nage, can the qr code or
go to bungalower.com/locavore-vinia.

9. T-Cells. Viral loads. These were things Kay learned this year. And
pneumonia, it turns out, is as deadly as her nagging mama warned.
From her son’s room, she had a wonderful view of the art museum where
she could faintly hear the champagned crowd counting down.
Why had he been embarrassed to tell them? An underemployed artist
sans insurance ergo no meds mixed with nonsensical human pride and…
here we are. Midnight fireworks reflected in her tears as she looked out
at the new year. Behind her a sound no mother should hear: the abrupt
absence of her firstborn’s breath.
