You'd think it was the holidays
I attended my first ever Kermit Lynch party on Saturday the 17 followed by 4 days of gorging on all manner of both street food and fine restaurant eats in Portland.
Oyster Bliss is all about oysters, homemade sausages by Chris Lee and Samin Nosrat, wine by Kermit Lynch and desserts by Café Fanny, along with plenty of sun, friends, and music. It was a blast drinking buckets of rose, chewing on sausages, slurping oysters and laughing with friends and tablemates. It’s tough to spend a Saturday afternoon like that because it’s too tempting to continue the debauchery. Luckily I’ve reached the age of reason and spent the late afternoon and early evening napping.
Fanny's strawberry rhubarb tart
Fanny's Chocolate Pave
The dreamiest coffee ever from the sweetest 200 square foot storefront.
Porchetta sandwich from The People's Pig Cart. Yowza!
Ziba's pitas: like my grandma's strudel only savory with cheese and lamb and Ajvar!
I've had some pretty sorry examples of Korean tacos. This was not one of them.
Ok so I probably didn't really need to eat Texas toast grilled cheese with hamburger.
My roomie Amy's Schnitzelwich from Tabor. She was nice enough to share. It was a textural wonderland.
Civilized lunch with new friends Laiko Bahrs, Maura Sell, Brona Cosgrave, and Patrice Savery at Pasta Works.
Much to my surprise, I walked into the Chronicle Books party and there was my book cover all blown (and grown) up and looking gorgeous. I had to get a happy shot. It's blurry but too fun not to include.
Your posting makes me hungry all over again! LOVED meeting you. I look forward to the DIY Portland Book Tour this Fall.
