We got our Halloween Decorations up, after the rain finally settled (we did need it!). So we celebrated with a Dark and Stormier Cocktail from Domaine de Canton. Dinner was from the November 2012 Food and Wine: Milk Braised Pork Chops with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (we skipped the potatoes), and Warm Brussels Sprouts with Honey Caraway and Lime, served with Roti Chapati.
We give them both a 4--the milk braising really does produce tender pork!

Wine: Cantine Barbera Nero d'Avila 2004--pleasant, but a little past it's prime.
