Ok, I’m going to start posting again

K and N came to visit for the weekend a few weeks ago, and we had a blast. Arriving Saturday morning, I had already picked up some tamales from the lady at the church by the fm. We crammed those in before we went to Vincent Farms for some apricot/plum picking. Here is my basket of Santa Rosa plums and Blenheim apricots. Luckily it wasn’t that hot out, but didn’t seem like there were very many apricots left. Although we got enough for Evan’s apricot pie. Man, I love that pie. If only I didn’t share with people and got to eat the entire thing.

So, on to wine tasting. We stopped at Alma Rosa, LaFond, and then the Lompoc Wine Ghetto. Man, the wine ghetto was great. all in one little industrial space w/ no driving involved. And none of the tools in the hawaiian shirts. Why does wine tasting and hawaiian shirts always mix?

Before hitting up Full of Life Flatbread, went to Bedford for a quick tasting. So, for starters, we had  Santa Barbara spot prawns with beets and agretti and lemon relish. Since nobody wanted the heads, i got to suck them! ha, ew.

We also got the burrata and haricot vert, okra with peppers, and the heirloom tomato and watermelon salad. Here’s a pic of the okra. I even liked it!

For the flatbreads, we got the zucchini with goat cheese and basil:

The rapini with tomatoes, eggs and spicy sausage:

And finally the regular sausage one:

My fave was the egg one. I love it when fried eggs are on top of pizze! just like at mozza. Oh and the watermelon salad was almost as good as BLD’s. For dessert, we had the santa rosa plum ice cream, the apricot upside down cake and their s’more. The plum ice cream was my fave since it was tart.

Anyway, the rest of the weekend was great with C, G, T, W and the kids coming. Why don’t they live closer?! And why isn’t flatbread closer!?
