Departure: ALDI HQ

Hi guys! Tomorrow is the big day! I am departing St.Louis for Chicago in the morning to visit ALDI Headquarters. ALDI was generous enough to invite me to their Test Kitchen Event. They are paying for my flight (I've never flown! Meep!) as well as my stay at a very nice hotel for the night. They have many things planned for me for Thursday, as well as Friday. I will learn a lot of information about ALDI and their products that I will be able to report back to you all upon my return!!

Wish me safety on my travels and I am anxious to report everything upon my return. I will also take photos!!
