FNCE, which stands for Food and Nutrition Conference and Exposition, is the annal meeting of the American Dietetic Association. This is the professional organization for Registered Dietitian (I am an RD). I am writing this at FNCE, which this year is in Chicago.
O'Hare airport is amazing, I can't believe that at 11:30 pm on a Sunday, it was very busy. There was probably about 100 people waiting for taxi (I didn't count carefully). I won't have time to do any site-seeing, which is usually the case with conferences. I attended several talks today that provided me with new materials for my teaching, and I checked out many new food products at the Exposition. And now here I am, at 9:46pm Eastern Time, I have just finished reviewing a scientific report submitted to a journal (maybe I'll talk about this in another entry). But I want to jot a few lines on this blog about my trip.
I called my kids earlier, and everything seems to be under control. But I won't be back home until late Tuesday night. Let's hope that my husband can hold down the fort for another day.
