CAMBRIDGE — On the stovetop in Carolyn Johnson and Bill Flumerfelt’s kitchen, there’s a beautifully browned pork roast stuffed with herbs and garlic, a pan of meltingly tender braised red cabbage, and a pot of black-eyed peas simmered in pork broth. It’s the kind of comforting meal the chefs — Johnson, of 80 Thoreau in Concord, and Flumerfelt, of Nubar in the Sheraton Commander Hotel in Cambridge — would make for guests.
Earlier, they had a disagreement about the cabbage. Flumerfelt suggested tossing the slivers with red vinegar before cooking, a technique that helps preserve the vibrant color. Johnson didn’t like the idea. “You can’t really sear it once it’s wet,” she countered. “I usually add the vinegar in after.”

Great article...but why does the Globe seemingly ALWAYS insert same-sex couples into their reporting.
From the most recent census in 2011, same-sex couples comprised less than 1/2 of 1% of all couples, or about 1 in 180. Yet, from the News reports, TV programs and other entertainment vehicles, you'd think it would be significantly higher.
Given the other issues in news bias, this is certainly not a high priority, but it does strike me as an agenda-building commentary on the part of the Globe.
Probably just to get a rise out of folks like yourself.
