I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone's kind words and good wishes for my future! Here are some snipits from emails I recieved:
I will miss your smiling eyes and mouth watering food. Have a great time in
Italy. Live your dreams! Especially if those dreams involve garlic, basil and octopus. Ciao. I'll have to visit you when I'm on my european tour.
Best of luck. Enjoy Italy & especially the food!
Good for you! Also: do keep in touch. If things go the way I hope, I may find myself in your newly adopted home in the coming year, and would love to pay a (paying!) visit to your new Tucsan-oil-soaked kitchen -- with food-focused folk in tow (umbrian oil...).
I hope whoever takes over your bidness treats it well. Maybe you should sell it a woman
named Tina, so she can call it Tina-schittina. Maybe Tina Turner, but she would call it Whatґs-Love-Got-to-Do-schittina...Or to that unique touring sensation known as Blue-Man-Group-schittina.
Again, best of luck with Umbria. We will all miss you in the market, but your legacy of having raised the bar for quick food in the market will (I hope) remain.
Thanks so much for starting your business, for your Farmers' Market booths as well as your formal dinners. And thank you for sharing such exciting news about your future.
I'm am SOOOO jealous! I love Italy. Good for you. We will definately miss you in Seattle and hope you keep your email list to let us all know if/when you return to start cooking again.
Wow Jen! That sounds great. I'm so excited for you--it's actually a bit inspiring. Best of luck in all of your travels and future endeavors.
As a loyal Ballard Market diner, we will miss you! That said, congrats- too cool...
Wonderful! You are changing your life - living in a different culture. I always encourage young people to experience it.
I'm glad for you, but so sorry for all of us! I will truly miss stopping by your stand, and the rest of my family will too. (OK, we'll give a new buyer a fair chance, but it won't feel the same.)
Congratulations on the move! I’m sad you’re moving away but happy you’re doing something you want to do.
wow. damn. i mean great. i will try to make the final dinner and get it on film... thrilled for you.
