Si te encuentras en el aeropuerto El Dorado en Bogotá D.E. , te recomiendo te tomes las deliciosas sopas de Crepes y Waffles, incluyendo la sopa de lentejas belugas. En el buffet de ensaladas, tienen las lentejitas pardinias, crujientes y deliciosas.

Lo más emocionante para mi, es que vienen de mis amigos de Timeless Food en Montana!!

Hola Montana!

If you happen to be in Bogotá, Colombia at the El Dorado airport make sure you stop at Crepes and Waffles, and enjoy one of their succulent soups. My favorite one is of course Timeless Food beluga Lentils coming all the way from Montana to Colombia.

I’ve become a breakfast person in Bogota.

Today is our last day in . You can’t imagine the sense of pride I feel for being in my country of birth representing my Montana. I feel so fortunate and grateful for the opportunity .montana and the for giving me the opportunity. Tomorrow, my cradle, and more family, friends, and lentil love.
