Hey y’all!
This is my very first guest post on a blog… I am so excited AND nervous!
First, a pre-apology for the way I had to edit the photos. Guess what’s really hard to get good lighting for? Red wine.
I’m not great with the scary/thriller/horror parts of the October season, but I AM great with the cozy/delicious/witchy/mysterious parts, so for this post, I’m going to give you one of my favourite recipes and some of my favourite books that feel like cold noses and red leaves and that deep breath you take the first time it SMELLS like fall… which is to say, they feel like coming home.
Lets get to it, shall we?
So, London is part of my DNA. London is a sentient being to me and it is entwined with my heart and soul.
Longest story EVER, shortened- When I lived in Oxford for a semester, there was a pub that I went to almost daily and it’s where I had my first mulled wine.
After I got back to the States, I kept trying to recreate the mulled wine and never could. When we went back a few years ago, I visited the pub and the family and my first sentence to the lovely owner was “HI I MISSED YOU SO MUCH PLEASE FOR THE LOVE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE YOUR MULLED WINE.”
And then I cried for a while because that pub saved my life and NOSTALGIA.
Mulled wine is amazing for any fall or winter party, but I also like to make a batch just for myself, so I can curl up on a cold night with a warm cup of wine and a cozy book.
Alright. Let’s wine.
