Things I Ate Today
Sep. 5th, 2009 12:19 ama bowl of cereal
a cup of coffee
a plate of reheated leftovers
a "mocha on a stick" (sort of a coffee-flavored fudgesicle)
cheese curds
some of Molly's minidonuts
bacon on a stick
teriyaki ostrich on a stick (meh)
French fries
an ear of roasted corn
a "fudge puppy" (chocolate-dipped belgian waffle slice on a stick with whipped cream on top)
the last of Kiera's cotton candy
the last of Molly's brownie
Molly also had a corn dog, a hot dog, an egg roll on a stick, the minidonuts, and her own mocha on a stick. Kiera had a corn dog, a mocha on a stick, some of Molly's minidonuts, an egg roll on a stick, a bunch of French fries, and a fruit salad. Plus the desserts mentioned above.
Why yes, we DID go to the State Fair today.
And yes, the Minnesota State Fair puts everything on a stick. You find stuff on a stick at all fairs because it's a convenient way to eat something while walking around, but at our state fair, it's long since reached the status of a statewide in-joke. New this year was Summit (beer) on a stick, which was three sample-sized cups of beer inserted into a sort of a paddle with holes in it; those were wildly popular, and made me envision the meeting at Summit in which the marketing people explained to the engineers that they needed to come up with a way to put beer on a stick.
