SUBLIMITY, OREGON | MARCH 2022
Our first Supper of 2022, and goodness did it feel amazing to gather again! We couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect Pacific Northwest goodbye to winter than our beautiful little Supper snuggled together in the forest around a fire at the old Davidson Ranch in Smith Creek Village. Our warming meal made by Chef Ana Betancourt was full of Northwest classic ingredients made in the flavors and textures of her home, Torreón, Mexico. We met Ana years ago through her sister, Alba. Dear Alba has been part of the Secret Supper team for many years and we were so excited to be able to work with them both together as they embark on a very special project to the two of them, Maria, a nomadic, micro-dinner series.
This Supper was so very special to us because it involved so many special people in our lives. Amazing and talented friends that have become like family to us. It was truly an honor to be able to put this Supper together with them. It is through their talents and support, we are even able to be here in the first place.
Alba, Chas, Melissa, Anameika, Tracy from Great Jones my sister and brother-in-law who also came to help for the weekend!
