Kimball Showroom at Neocon

I'm at the Kimball contract furniture showroom at 325 N Wells. They're
giving out free beautiful canvas bags to Neocon attendees. Also have
DJ and sandwiches.

50 Condiments

Get the June issue of Food Network Magazine for the mini-booklet
featuring 50 condiment recipes including Bloody Mary ketchup, stout
mustard, ginger miso mayo, and red onion marmalade. Plan to make
kimchi salsa: combine 3/4 cup chopped kimchi, 1 1/2 cups diced
tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, juice of 1 lemon, and salt to
taste. Kimchi is Korea's national dish - fiery! You can get a jar of
the milder stuff in many supermarkets near the tofu in the produce
aisle.

At Sweets & Snacks Expo

Here's me at the Sweets & Snacks Expo yesterday.

Sweets & Snacks Expo Bag

I had a great time attending the open-to-the-trade only Sweets &
Snacks Expo at McCormick Place West yesterday. Ate a lot of candy,
talked to candy and snack folks, and picked up samples - lots of them.
This is everything I picked up in two hours. The National
Confectioners Assiciation gives attendees one bag (Mars Wrigley one in
the picture) and punches your badge so you can't get more than one
bag. You can however return to the Expo to refill your bag as many
times as you'd like.
Disclosure: I received free Expo admission from the NCA.
