It's that time of year again...

Fair post the first, Food!

Yesterday hellbob & I put on bright orange t-shirts emblazoned w/the Boston Scientific logo and headed over to that strange St. Paul side of town. We were off to the State Fair!

Apparently, so was everyone else in the state... I'm never going there on a Saturday again, not even with discount tickets from Rick's work!


At some point during the day I decided I should be taking pictures of all the fantastic food concoctions that our fair has to offer. If it can be deep-fried, put on a stick, or both, it was!
Unfortunately, due to my previous 3 days of intestinal discomfort I couldn't partake in as much fair goodness as I would have liked. The first stop for hellbob & I was our traditional Preferred Pickle deep-fried gourmet pickles though. They are soooo good and totally worth fighting through the crowds in the food building.

I read about the Spam curds. It kind of scared me.

My new food at our fair here was Indian fry bread. Turns out it's pretty good. My staple food is bratwurst and the caramel apple tower.

Rick tried the Spam curds. He liked them. I tried one and thought it was icky.

Mmmmmm. Indian fry bread. I haven't had that in forever! It was one of the benefits of having a college roomate who was part Indian. When she took me to a powwow she insisted I try it.
My staple must have food is the cheese on a stick!

OOooohhhh, cheese on a stick! That's my kind of food, too.

Cheese on a stick, which tastes much like a grilled cheese sammich, is one of my favorites, but I didn't have it this year. I tried not to eat too much junk food.
