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.

Most of these terrify me, but somehow the entire experience of fair food is summed up for me by the dreadful legend: Sloppy Joe on a Stick!

Hellbob tried that. He said it was nasty. I took his word for it!

It sounds just plain terrifying to me, and I've eaten deep-fried haggis voluntarily and lived to tell the tale!

Not - I hasten to assure you - that I would be in a hurry to repeat the experience.
