The GOOD, The BAD, and THE I am not even going to try it

That's right folks the state fair has come to Minnesota!! This was our second annual fair and though I don't have any pictures of us eating food- but food we did eat. And to make the money stretch farther we shared everything and could not go back for seconds. This was hard for Alan !! So while I am too ashamed to post everything we ate, I will post the tops in each category. And just to make us feel a little better about all the food we ate we parked in the free lot and walked two miles there and one mile back. SO on with the list

THE GOOD
1. The Pronto Pup (Alan's Favorite) What is the Pronto Pup you ask. It is basically a corn dog on a stick but the batter is wheat based instead. He wanted more but I convinced him we had way more experimenting to do.
2. Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake (Rachel's favorite)- That's right folks. It was delicious. Ru thought so too. Alan didn't even try it !!
3. Cheese Curds (Both of our favorites) What is a cheese curd you Texans might be asking?? IT is basically squares of cheese deep fried in a batter of sorts. IT is way better than cheesesticks so don't even try to compare. So, for all of you Minnesotans Alan and I have finally figured out that to get the best cheese curds you must go inside the food building. Any stand alone vendors WILL NOT be worth it.
4. Blue Rasberry Frozen Lemonade (Ru's favorite) She really did drink almost the whole thing by herself. I know we are horrible parents.

THE BAD
1. Soft Pretzel - that's right. You would figure you could get a good soft yummy pretzel. To Alan's dismay it way dry and yucky. One bite and I wasn't looking for any more. Alan on the other hand went ahead and ate it. I would have thrown it out. BLAH
2.Chocolate chip cookies- So here in Minnesota these cookies are RAVED about. Last year we passed on these treats and we should have again. They were good. Come on they are cookies. But the break and bake cookies you get at the store tasted just as good.

Not Even Going to Try It
1. Pig lickers. That's right folks I said Pig lickers. It consists of cooked bacon then dipped in chocolate and refrigeraterd. Let's all say it EWWWW GROSS
2. Fried Spam Balls. Need I say more??

All right so that sums up our lists for this year's State Fair Food O Rama. Stay tuned for pictures of Ru on the kiddie rides at the fair.
