Sandy is here!

Hurricane Sandy

And of course we had a cocktail in her honor:

the Sandy

Government (and our) offices were closed today & will be closed tomorrow.

The Sandy:

  • 1 1/2 oz rum
  • 1 oz cointreau
  • 2 oz watermelon & ginger ice
  • 2 oz orange, peach, and mango juice
  • tangerine wedge

Will probably have another & watch Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers (until the power goes out)

 

Reading Market Cheese

Reading market cheese

The other day we met T.T. and M.T. in Philadelphia so we went to the Reading Market.  I got some interesting cheese (and passed on the cheese that was $40/lb).

Le Fin Normand Camembert – a nice Camembert (aren’t they all?) from Saint-Hilaire de Briouze.  It was one that I didn’t have the box for, which was the main reason to get it.

Pecorino Sardo Ciresa – a very nice Italian sheep’s milk cheese

Asiago – very good, but not as nice as what NA smuggled in for us.
