My dad works in the food business. What a fun industry to be a part of! Lucky for me he was invited to a food show here in Portland, and (knowing how incredibly fun they are) he got extra tickets for my mom, my sister, and I. What is a food show you might ask? It's basically Costco sampling on crack. Rows and rows and rows of vendors line up their tables and give out free samples of their product. However unlike Costco giving you small little tastes, you are given full on sliders, ribs, lattes, ice cream bars, pulled pork sandwiches, shrimp, beer, wine, cakes, cookies, teas, smoothies, yogurts, chips, fries, soups... you get the picture. There is literally offered everything under the sun, and you just get to walk around and eat whatever you want for free. Being 18 weeks pregnant and just coming out of the nauseousness phase, it is not exaggerating to say this was a dream. Jake got to join us on his lunch break for an hour, which was great! Oh and on top of walking around and gorging yourself, they also give you a bag upon arrival that you fill up with packaged samples to take home. We were there from 9-4. It was a lovely day.
