Just shoot me if I even mention going to the fair again next year! We drove at record speed down the tollway trying to get home to the Rolaids. I forgot to put them in the car before leaving. We “ate” our way through the tents, sampling on anything they poked in front of us. Here is a summary of the food ingested in the 5 hours we were there:
Corny dogs, cheese melted in a flour tortilla, little smokies, marinated chicken, which we watched being cooked on a grill that we “just had to have”, pizza, from the cooking demo, which, actually I did learn a lot about tomatoes, which I will share later, my FIRST funnel cake, ever, YUM, Texas nachos and ending the night right before we climb on the 221 ft Texas Star, the infamous cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting……..I sit here thinking that we paid good money to feel this way. You would think by the time we were this age, that we would know better. BUT…..isn’t that just part of living in Texas. We have the largest state fair, with the most fried food. And it would just really bother me to hear people talking about their visit to the fair and I would not be able to join in with my experience. We did not taste the “fried butter” That is really nothing new to this family. Randy tells people that I have a cube melted for him in a cup to drink on his way out the door in the morning, just to be sure he gets his quota of butter each day. We are Plano’s answer to the “Butterkin Family”………As soon as one of my kids come over to show me how to download pics from my phone to the computer, I will post a couple of pictures of our day, wandering around, trying to sniff out what we would try next! I did however decide to have my picture taken with Big Tex, it made me feel so small, I loved it!
