Le Chocdoc Goûte Paris

[Kerry Beal]

Here I sit with @Alleguede in the lounge at Pearson Airport waiting to leave for Paris. We have a booth at the Salon du Chocolat business to business section to introduce the EZtemper to Europe and that will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. @Alleguede mentioned I better bring my runners because, Paris being his original home, we are going to be going to a lot of places. 

 

I am of course doing my jet lag program again and unfortunately this is one of the 'fasting' days so I don't get to eat too much and it needs to be carbs at this time of day. So checking out the offerings here in the lounge I got some mashed potatoes, a bit of pasta, some corn salad and a handful of corn chips with salsa and guac. Of course I forgot to take a picture before I started eating!

It's just about 6 pm - time for the 3 cups of black coffee!

You’re going to wow them in Europe with the irresistible EZtemper. Hope you have time to enjoy Paris.

Third painful cup - have I mentioned how much I dislike black coffee - added a bit of Grand Marnier which would probably be nice if there were cream in there!

Not a potted plant in sight! I quite like GM but it's doing nothing for this black coffee. But it's better than the little dribble of Baileys I put in the last cup.

I know, right?  I could have spent her whole vacation time just walking around in that store.
