Event: Ocean Beach Holiday Parade

last weekend (Saturday December 7th, 2013) was the Ocean Beach Holiday Parade. Every year it is so much fun to get together with friends & family and celebrate the holidays within our community. The parade takes place down & around Newport street. This year the holiday parade starts at 5:05 PM. I'm having friends come over around 4 PM for hot spiced wine.

HOT SPICED WINE
Ingredients:
3 bottles of dry red wine
3 cored and sliced apples
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest

this recipe is made for a crockpot. All you need to do is add all the ingredients to your crockpot and stir. Let cook and marinate for a few hours.
