BlakeMakes On Epicurious.com! (Updated)

February 20, 2008  |  Rants + Ramblings  | 

UPDATE: Very good, Blake Makers. I see we have 11 comments on the post on Epicurious.com (as of 2:28pm CST on 2/21). Thanks for the love! If you’d like to show some love, click on the screenshot image below to visit Epicurious and add your two cents. :)

Hello, Blake Makers and Sooper Heroes. Last night went better than I thought. I mean, I thought all the jars would be claimed, but I didn’t think I would have twice as many requests as I had jars. I’m preparing a micro case study right now to share the numbers with all of you, but you can look at the time stamps on each comment to see how fast the first jars went.

I owe it all to my great community of Blake Makers (and the Sooper Heroes among them). I also owe a big THANKS to my new Nestie friends! I knew my wife (DW) loved the Nest, but I didn’t know there were so many others. Welcome, come back (again and again) and tell your friends!

In all the madness, Epicurious caught wind of us.

Thanks so much to Amy for being a fan of BlakeMakes, and for writing such a great post. Go read her blog, it’s spectacular!

One last thing, you know me, I always love to challenge my community. So, here’s a task:

  • Let’s make this Epicurious post mean something!
  • Show some BlakeMakes love by commenting on the Epicurious post!
  • That’s it!

As always, stay tuned. Tons more on the way!
