On A lighter Note

Sampler Gnoshing

• Wegmans and other grocery stores often have sample stands where you can get "tastes" of various foods. Perhaps someone out there knows the scheduling secrets of these delights by store??
• Manndible Cafe almost always has samples of one of their baked items at the counter. However, they are placed right in front of the register so you may feel obligated to buy something.
• Seminars, Symposiums, Conferences, and talks on college campuses often offer free coffee and refreshments. However, they generally require you attend the talk, which is often open to anyone. Some seminars even include full meals, but this is rare.
