The Great Minnesota Get Together: Round 1

I think this last photo of my sleepy baby in the midst of many MN fatties scarfing down fried foods prettymuch says it all about the MN State Fair. We met some friends there last night and I got my Fair Food Basics covered - a pronto pup, mozzarella sticks with marinara, a few cheese curds, some Sweet Martha's cookies and some beers. We ran out of time to sample all the culinary delights I wanted to indulge in though, so we're going back tomorrow afternoon for Round 2. Getting in was pretty cheap since a kind lady gave us an extra ticket she wasn't using, and I used my MN Library card to get a $2 discount. Who knew? On Round 2 I will go a little deeper into the food possibilities and try some of the items recommended in this Heavy Table write-up on the best foods at the fair: marshmallow creme, chocolate, and banana sandwich, Roasted Corn and Bacon Pizza, Korean BBQ Tacos, Peaches and Cream and Wine Ice Cream. Bring it on, fellow fatties.
