Not a single summer has gone by that I have NOT attended the Minnesota State Fair. Quite easily accomplished because it is located where I grew up, it is not even an option to NOT go. You could also blame it on the deep-fried ooey-gooey cheese curds where the grease explodes in your mouth, or perhaps the foot long hotdog loaded with a mountain high heap of fried onion topped with just the right amount of ketchup. I mean let us also pay tribute to the juicy turkey sandwiches and the carameled apples topped with peanuts or Sweet Martha's exploding bucket of cookies!!! Oh....deliciousness, the list is endless. As we hit the pavement and try to blend in with the other Minnesotans who pay to eat endless amounts of unhealthy food - Justin and I miss the days of high school. Since the fair is in our old stomping ground, it was just natural that all our friends worked there as a summer job. Occupying various food stands, we could easily name 5-10 places where we could get free food. But now, we must pay ridiculous amounts of money for food that is surely going to clog our arteries.
Like in the photo below, where I shoved way too much food in my mouth at once!
:)
(Shoving lots of food in your mouth at one time is one of my pet-peeves, so Justin was in utter shock when he saw me do it! Hey what better place than the State Fair?!?!)
Oh...and Hello! My new favorite fair food! (Thanks Ang!) Deep fried glorious pickles. Get a load of this mutha: Huge pickle slices encased in cream cheese, battered, deep-fried and then dipped in ranch.
Hello. I love you.
The "Sams" Justin's brother, Sam- and his girlfriend, Sam. (or Samantha...but "Sam" is more fun.)
Justin's $8.00 steak sandwich!
...Oh, and my husband actually likes Spam. What is wrong with him?! He squealed when he saw this "SPAM Thrown" in the SPAM tent. Sheesh.
So, another great year at the fair! Next year Hannah will be a little bigger and so she will come with for her first fair experience. Below are some photos of Little H and I.
