Jeff and Vicki Weiss are incredible people and the most lovely hosts - we are blessed with their friendship. Vicki is the hostess with the mostess - my tummy has been happy and full! Wonderful meals, wine and conversation. Oh and Jeff made homemade bread for breakfast!
I was introduced to burrata How have I missed this wonderful taste sensation?
McMinnville, Oregon has gotten “covid creative”. They closed down their Main Street to traffic and have pop up bars and street restaurants in the evenings.
We visited some fabulous wineries and the views were spectacular.
Our beautiful weekend ended with a bit of drama! Hot, dry weather and high winds are never a good combination. It's even worse when the winds are potentially at historic strength. The local weather man called it the wind event of the century.
The National Weather Service placed Northwest Oregon under a critical fire weather warning due to the confluence of high temperatures, low humidity and rare easterly winds that hit near 35 mph! Smoke quickly blew in from area fires that you could smell and taste.
But on a sweet note, Vicki made a crisp with pears and apples from trees growing in their yard.
