rscAnother year, another feast.
"Petit" brie
"Somerdale" Wensleydale with cranberries
Assorted crackers
Roast pork loin with pan gravy
Roasted potatoes
Buttered leeks
Iggy's cranberry pecan rolls
Mixed green salad with mustard vinaigrette
2019 "Petit" Pinotage (Ken Forrester winery)
Chocolate mocha & raspberry mocha cake
Ginger tea
It's purely coincidence that the brie and the wine had the same brand name. Pinotage is a South African varietal that we discovered when we were in South Africa in January of 2020 and decided we liked; it's not easy to find around here.
The pork loin – something we haven't done before – could probably have cooked for about 5 minutes less (it got about 50 minutes at 350F), but it was good anyway.
I'm not exactly sure what to call the dessert, which came from Mike's Pastry in Harvard Square. It's basically two disks of cake with mocha butter-cream frosting and a thick syrup on top; I couldn't decide which flavor to get, and I couldn't quite decide whether each one was one serving or two, so I got one of each. (We haven't actually had dessert yet as I write this, but we've decided that each one is two servings, so we're going to cut them in quarters and each have a quarter of each flavor.)
I had to edit this post because I'd forgotten the rolls.
