Launch Party Thanks!
The vanesscipes launch party has come and gone and I want to thank everyone who left their cozy Manhattan (and DC!) homes on a potentially stormy summer evening.
Thank you for hiking out to Brooklyn and supporting vanesscipes!
Thank you for all the lovely potable gifts!
Thank you for teaching me how to use my pressure cooker!
Thank you for not spilling Mintessas all over my floor!
Thank you for humoring my excessive use of exclamation points!!!
But seriously folks: everyone’s kind words, enthusiasm, and great ideas for the future of vanesscipes really made my night. Hugs, Kisses, and High Fives all around. Muoh!

Wow! I can’t believe I got Flickred with the Vanesscirati! Rock
That was a great party. When’s the next one? More strawberry basil baumers please.

I vote for the Mintessas…and think a lot of people agree with me since I could barely get one before they ran out! Great people, great food, great party.

Hi Vanessa,
Welcome to the food blogging world!
Your launch party just gave me a fabulous idea: Chopper and I are moving at the end of the summer, and it never occurred to me until now to do a “Belly Timber’s in Portland” party. So — thank you for the inspiration!
