State Fair Bound!

I have never gone to the State Fair on opening day, but Steve and I both had the afternoon off and thought it would be a nice way to get away from the chaos of life and eat our worries away :) Neither of us are big State Fair Goers but it was Thrifty Thursday, we were in dyer need to get out of the house and get some fresh air. So before we knew it we were on the transit and on our way to the fair!

Sadly we have become quite bad at taking pictures of everything we do... BUT we do have a few to prove we went.

A few of our favorite foodie traditions at the fair: (*note, we share everything... if we didn't that would be rather disgusting and we would be quite large)

- Pronto Pups: I don't know why, but they are so much better than a 'corn dog' maybe it's all in the name?
- Giant Turkey leg: mmm... succulent, juicy MEAT
- 1919 Rootbeer: Neither of us drink soda, ever, but we both salivate at the site of a Jumbo cup of ice cold 1919 rootbeer... holy goodness, why do you think we had kegs of it at our wedding?!
-  Roasted Corn: Huge probably chemically altered corn cobs with ginormous kernels that burst with buttery goodness when you bite into them.. can't NOT eat this!
- We usually split some kind of desserty thing, this year we were on our way to the deep fried candy bars... they are morbidly delicious to say the least, but luckily someone was looking out for us and plopped a delicious gelato stand right next door, Praise God we didn't go through with it! The Gelato was very delicious and probably life saving.
- Because of our adventurous spirits and love for food, we always like to try new things, see if you can guess what this years undertaking was...

Does the look on Steve's face give it away? 



These cute little fries came with our meal...



Any guesses yet? 



Boom! That's right. I don't know if I'd get it again, kind of tasted like overdone chicken.. but hey, we tried it.

  1. Pronto pup is made with pancake batter (flour) and corn dogs are made with corn! So there is a difference :)
