Dessert/ Dinner/ Lunch

Left Turns

I don’t even know where to begin. This day has been C-R-A-Z-Y and I’ve eaten more food than…I don’t even know. Don’t judge when you see the below pictures—I’m blaming it on the circumstance and the time change.

Where did I leave off?! I don’t even know. But somehow Adam and I ended up on quite the adventure post-church, scaling from Santa Rosa to Napa to Bodega Bay and then to Armstrong Woods.

Ladies and gentleman, here’s what you can do with a tank and a half of gas, good music, a rubber chicken and a few left turns….

Stopped for some eats…..my fisherman’s stew was enough to feed a family of six. Plus an IPA.

(don’t worry, I have enough leftovers to feed myself for a week. It’s AWESOME!)

IMG_0749

Okay, so we actually had to rush to get back into town because……….

We had to attend an event with Kevin and Eli of Top Chef!

IMG_0804

So it goes.

Insanity.

The big surprise of what I’m doing tonight, tomorrow night and the next night is nothing more than hanging out with Kevin and Eli, Murphy-Goode and Dirty South style, here in Healdsburg. The guys are good friends of Hardy’s and this three day event has been in the work for months now….we’ve all been SO excited!

IMG_0785

Tonight was the cocktail party at the Murphy-Goode tasting room and then afterward, I headed out with the guys to attend an exclusive 10 person dinner up on the Terra a Lago vineyards. I kept pinching myself, don’t worry. Is this really my life??!!

We stuck Rocky’s pro Sigma 1.4 lens on my Rebel and I quickly became obsessed…..the food pictures were INCREDIBLE!

(vegetarians beware…our dinner was Intense with a capital I)

IMG_0820

Kevin and Eli did not cook tonight….we were treated to an absolutely fabulous meal prepared by the amazingly talented Kendall Jackson chefs, Ryan and Eric. Tomorrow night Kevin and Eli are cooking at Hardy’s house! Some down home Southern cookin’!

IMG_0829

IMG_0832

Dessert of apple tart….I had a few bites + crust πŸ˜‰

IMG_0837

Homemade grappa? Wheeeeeewwwwww

IMG_0846

Terra a Lago, how I love thee.

IMG_0835

IMG_0836

Woooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh food coma. And dare I say it’s just beginning??! Tomorrow night, like I said, is the chicken wing night in Hardy’s back yard and then Tuesday night I’m going to a 7 course formal dinner prepared by both Eli and Kevin again at Relish culinary. I swear, my life is normally NOT like this.

***

I’m off to journal in the bathtub……because at this point, I’m not sure what else to do with myself.

    You are a very lucky. I am pinching myself that I am reading this. I love top chef but this by far is my favorite seasons of top chef. The talent is amazing. Kevin blows my mind with his way of cooking and humility. I want details!!!!! How are they were in person? How is their food? Yes I am jealous and maybe slightly obsessed with chef’s that know how to cook.

    I love last week’s episode of Top Chef where Kevin cooked a vegetarian dish for Natalie Portman. As soon as he said kale and mushrooms I knew he would win. That a good chef can good a really good hearty vegetarian dish rocks.

    Yes you are very lucky. Enjoy every single second of this you deserve it.

    I had the great fortune to live in the Norcal area, not too far from Healdsburg for a few months this summer and I can’t wait to go back…it’s beautiful there and I’m glad you are taking advantage!

I was sitting behind him on the train from DC to NYC a few years back and chatted it up with him for a good hour. Great guy!

    Jenna,
    Looks like you are having a blast- it looks and sounds like so much fun- and I’m sure the wine and food are spectacular! Too bad my visit was a week early!

    What an amazing experience! You look so incredibly happy that I’m nearly brought to tears seeing you in pictures – and I swear that I don’t mean that sound as creepy as it seems!

    ENJOY your life and all of the amazing experiences that come your way πŸ™‚
    Danielle
