My Sunday Roast plans got delayed, so for Monday dinner I made pork loin roast with fennel, apple, and herbs; mashed Yukon gold potatoes with roasted garlic and ricotta; glazed carrots with rosemary and hot honey; and apple cider braised chard #FoodSky

When I moved to Blacksburg in 2012, my friends and I went to Macado’s for the Halloween steal-a-pint, and I’ve been back every year since then outside of the early pandemic times. Happy Halloween 🎃
