Norah- Ann had the privilege of being allowed into the Nestle factory today- what a treat. The plant at Danville produces fresh pasta (plain and filled ravioli's and tortellinis), pasta sauces as well as Tollhouse cookie dough. For somebody that had never seen a bucket of cookie dough for sale the latter was a real treat.
The controls in place were all familiar territory, but it is always interesting to see them implemented in another facility. Not to get distracted in the technicalities, this is every kids dream: seeing enough cookie dough go by to last a life time and hoppers of chocolate drops big enough to swim in! A big thank you to Lacey, Jennifer and the rest of the Nestle team for organizing a well structured tour with an excellent tasting session at the end. (and for the couple of wine chats in between!)
After a great lunch at the Bronx boys bagels with Peter and the family it was off to the more serious stuff of Environmental health inspections. Linda Jones took Norah around for the afternoon to some of the restaurants the local department is responsible for. Although the department is over loaded with work, it is good to see a system actually working- hopefully it will eventually get to this level back home.
Norah's evening was spent with Bob and Wanda Vaughn in the nearby town of South Boston where they treated her to a wonderful dinner at Bistro 1881. A lovely little restaurant with great food.
So to all the rumor mills, Norah does in fact not spend her day shopping, but eating…
