Home, sweet home (?)

Don't you hate it when you go out of town and then you come home to a less-than-thrilled audience? I was completely underwhelmed by my reception. Men.
I am currently recuperating from the fair. My body is in shock and is starting to turn on me. It's a good thing I only do this once a year!
So here are some of the sights I saw and the food I ate (or the food I saw being eaten!):
Of course this is one of the first things I hunt down. Sometimes it takes a while but I always find it! There it is, in all its glory -- the deep fried Twinkie. Perfection on a stick! This is what it looks like on the inside: Now, I must admit that I was disappointed in my twinkie-treasure this year. If you take a close look at the sign (above) you'll notice a banana-man. Don't ask - I just take pictures, I don't draw them. Anyway, Mr. Banana-man must've left some of himself behind in the fryer because my Twinkie tasted suspiciously like bananas. Ugh. Nothing worse than biting into something and not tasting what you expect to taste! Sigh -- I tossed my Twinkie.
Here are more pictures of food offered at our fair:Daughter #1 noticed these -- we passed. Evidently all you need to have a successful venture at the fair it some kind of food, a stick and a deep fryer. No kidding."Really?!", you ask. "Really", I say.

This next picture should leave you speechless (it did me!):

Read it again. Rub your eyes and look closer. Look up --- yep, you read it right, unbelieveable though it may seem, it's the
yummy "spam on a stick"!! Can you believe it! How long have I lived without this delicacy?!! My life now has meaning!!!
gag
But wait --- there's MORE for the choosiest of taste buds!

Yes. Curds. Of cheese. I thought only Miss Muffett ate those. yikes
OK, onto the food we DID eat:

Spiral spuds -- a.k.a. potato chips. Awesomely wonderful!

This is a fried pickle. There used to be 5 in this container. I barely got a picture of this one! These, too, are quite good. Sounds gross, tastes good (which really accurately describes most fair food).
This is one of those rare items that actually looks good and tastes good. Huge cinnamon roll. Well, half of the roll.
This is my darling dad and his annual turkey leg. You wouldn't believe how popular this item of food is! It's amazing how many people you see walking around eating these huge things. I don't know how they can see where they're going! I'm also a little sad at the thought of all of those big turkeys in wheelchairs!
OK, that's enough for today's entry. Tomorrow I will entertain you with the things to do and see at the fair. Right now I need to go take a muscle relaxer/also known as wine (for my aching legs who walked miles and miles and miles) and some Pepto -- for my stomach, which is very, very annoyed with me.
