Cider Pork Roast with Apple-Thyme Gravy

with cheesy mashed red potatoes. Made in the crock pot, easy and delicious. And bonus, now I have Calvados in my cabinet for future use. This recipe is from MyRecipes.com.

Wine in then 'hood

So glad there's a quaint little wine tasting room in my 'hood! And they serve Estrella draft for when you're all wined out. Will need to make this a regular stop.

Delicious porter, because it's winter!

When it gets cold outside, my beer preference changes significantly to something heartier and more flavorful. Lately, holiday "celebration" ales, porters and stouts just taste so good!

NYC Queens

We stayed with our friends in Queens for a couple days after Sandy. Glad we got to know their hood a bit, there's a little India closeby.

New York City! I different kind of a vacation than I had planned (thanks Hurricane Sandy). But we were safe, so were friends and family. So we made the best of it!
