sun hangover

Way back when, a group of bloggers attending the patio opening at Washington Place Bistro and owner Scott Kuhn introduced the group to Farmer Lee Jones and Veggie U. He surprised the group with tickets to the event and off we went! On Saturday, that same group headed west to the country for the Veggie U Food and Wine Event with a bunch of other fabulous people in Jeff's sweet sexy van.(Yep, we took a party van to the event.)

If you followed any of us on Twitter or #veggieu, you probably saw a lot of tweets and photos from the group on the way there, at the event and on the sing along van ride back to the Lakewood. Because I've had a sun hangover weekend from all day in the heat on Saturday and a short trip to Taste of Tremont today, I think a photo recap post is in order!

Nothing says fancy like busch light and macaroons

Champagne anyone?

Jeni's ice cream, mmmm, maybe I tried 3 flavors

Sweets by Maggie from my hometown of Amherst

It was a fabulous event - great food and people and so glad we all ended up making the trip out for it. And, a big thanks to Charity and Ben for organizing the van and for bringing friends who bring hors d'oeuvres
on the ride. Clutch, very clutch.

Disclaimer: I was given a ticket to attend the event along with everyone else featured in the photo.
