I told hubby the other night that even tho he is younger than me he isn't young enough. I LOVE going to fairs and the zoo and any other thing that sounds like fun. He doesn't want to go to any of them. The only thing I can get him to (kicking and screaming) is the art festival. That is where I fill up on red candy apples (LOVE THEM)and cotton candy and hotdogs and sausages and corndogs. But I still want to go to the fair and the zoo!!!

Well, my husband and I went to the State Fair on Monday and I finally tried the deep-fried Twinkies and deep-fried Snickers and I just wasn't thrilled with either. The most delicious thing I ate all day was the gyro and, of course, my beverage of choice was the lemonade shake-ups. Yum! Oh, and had an order of hand-cut french fries (the thick kind) -- VERY good. I guess I'll stick with the classics! :-)

Hey Squaredsc. I'm around the boards every now and then.

Twinkie mentioned red candy apples. For some reason, we don't get those here in MN, we only have the caramel ones. Yuck. I grew up in Cleveland, OH and I loved the fall with the red ones.

Deep fried Twinkies and Snickers bars made their debut this year at the San Diego County Fair. I'm not a big fair food eater (I rarely eat fried foods and, well, heck, EVERYTHING is fried!), but my date wanted to try the Twinkies. They tasted like warm jelly donuts.

If I think about what I ate at the fair the three times I went, I can see that there were only two things that stood out: date shakes and roasted sweet potatos. But everyone I was with pigged out... polish sausages, funnel cakes, corn dogs (none of which I ate), fried chips, fresh french fries (which I nibbled on and shared), garlic battered artichoke hearts (I only ate two hearts).

Oh yeah... I bought a package of frozen cinnamon rolls from the Country Cinnamon Roll vendor. Four to a package. I take 'em home and separate them out and freeze 'em individually. I still have one in the freezer, and I bought 'em the end of June! <grin>

Dang. I sound like one heckuva boring eater, don't I? <sigh>

Well the "Great MN Get Together" aka, the State Fair just ended. I guess the big hit was the premier of the Key Lime Pie on a stick.

They made it sort of like an Eskimo Pie ice cream with chocalate coating on the outside so that is how they got it on a stick.

For some reason the best thing this year to me was the simple, roasted fresh corn on a cob dipped in melted butter.

OK, so I posted ealry on in this thread about our italian festival and their sausage sandwiches and zeppoli's. It has now come and gone and for the first time in 20 years, I was disapponted. I was just saying that the one thing you can always count on is the St. Rocco's sausage sandwich.

I walked up to the stand and immediately told my husband that they had different sausage this year( should I admit I can tell such a thing?). I didn't panic yet because what do I know, right? Well, they raised the price from $4 to $5 which is steep but then I bit into it and it was dry and not flavorful. He felt the same way, as did my family.

Then, my zeppoli's weren't light and fluffy, they were dense and doughy. On a weekend we normally go for every single meal, we went once, and once was enough. I am so disappointed! I know I sound dramatic but St. Rocco's is like christmas for me!
