newhampshirevore edition This NYE, Guy and I went way way way upstate to the White Mountains, where we ate, drank and chilled like it was 1999. We rolled into town just in time to make our reservation at the Thompson House Eatery in Jackson: an establishment dedicated to NH friendliness, a detailed menu and more garnish than even I knew what to do with. Their cranberry vinaigrette was amazing. I can’t wait to try and recreate it at home (stay tuned for the results).
After a snowed-in breakfast in bed at our B&B, the Wildflowers Inn, we went back to sleep, and awoke hungry again. The Scarecrow Pub was the perfect lunch spot. We ordered buffalo shrimp topped with housemade hot sauce and a kitschy French Dip served with fresh cut french fries made of Maine potatoes.
Our favorite meal was our final one: a flawless dinner at White Mountain Cider Co. An actual cider mill and restaurant, they made cocktails so good (and only $10 a pop), it’s a wonder I was able to limit myself to two. Made with among other things, my first had cranberry wine and home grown lemon verbena syrup, and my last had pine liqueur and St. Germain. The housemade potato chips were impossible to resist—served drizzled with wasabi cream, Gorgonzola sauce and curry aioli. Our dinners were impressive too (though i snoozed and losed by missing out on the last of the venison special). We split a Shaved Brussel Sprout & Celery Root Salad, Herb Rubbed Pork Chop with Winter Vegetable Gratin and Apple Cider Sauce and Truffled Beet Risotto.
YUM! Thanks NH!
