Everyone wants to know our blood groups. Well, we don't know!
Today we had an appointment at Rockland Hospital to take our blood and determine blood groups.
The driver picked up Maia and me, took us to Nestlé R&D, India in Manesar to fetch Ian then off to the hospital.
This is the guard at the door. He was very serious, but agreed to have his picture taken. I absolutely love his uniform! A lot more fun than the uniforms at any hospital I have ever visited.
The nurses in the reception were so beautiful, nice, friendly and curious, it took some time to get past them :-)
The sign behind them said: "Disclosure of the sex of the phoetus is prohibited under PNDT law at Rockland Hospital."
After the deed .... we went back to Nestlé R&D to check out what it looks like were daddy works. I did not know if pictures were allowed, so I did not take any. Ian has some from previous visits, but I will post them only after R&D has given their permission.
Maia and I met all the chefs and saw the very nice "culinarium" with the beautiful copper pots for biryani, nan bread, grilling and kebaps. We also met a couple of familiar faces - two colleagues we had over for dinner at our house in Gaienhofen last year.
The head of the pilot plant came and introduced himself, a guy from France. He even invited us to take a tour of the pilot plant - a surprise for us and a very nice treat indeed!!! Maia got to go in a fridge, and in an OVEN! The latter was not on ... We also saw lines for the production of pasta and other dough products. It was all very very interesting.
The pilot plant has to be a very clean place, so quite a lot of preparation is needed before you are allowed to enter: put on safety shoes, a lab coat and a lovely hair net, then thoroughly wash the hands and disinfect them. This is us, all ready for entry!
It was really exciting to see how cereal and different kinds of pasta products are made. He even showed us the laboratories, where things are tested, weighed, heated, cooled, twisted, beaten and whatever else they do with it, then looked at on a molecular level.
Another super interesting day - and it was all really a surprise to us!
