pen_gruntI ate the following things today:
• Blue cheese corn fritters
• Macaroons (half of one)
• Cheese curds
• Walleye mac 'n' cheese
• Corn on the cob (MINE ALL MINE)
• Fresh strawberries and whipped cream (MINE ALL MINE)
• Cider pop (MINE ALL MINE)
• Fresh apple
• Lobster roll (just a very small taste)
• Deep fried buckeyes
Which wasn't really too much considering that, save where noted, everything was split three ways and we didn't finish everything even then. We threw out the walleye mac & cheese after a few bites each. It wasn't BAD, but fish and cheese just aren't a great combo. The deep fried buckeyes (peanut butter, chocolate and batter with a strawberry dip) were great but WAY rich. The lobster roll was good, but I was too full to do more than taste some of my sister's at that point.
I filled up on things that were mostly...not THAT bad for me. Corn on the cob, strawberries and cream, apple and apple cider pops. . . I feel like I should have had some cookies-to-go or something, but it started to pour and the prospect of carrying home any other food that I had wanted wasn't appealing. I was looking forward to the deep-fried pickles and the corn ice cream (or a dairy building caramel apple shake), but again...it started to POUR* and eating food in the pouring rain sort of ruins the experience.
*There is nothing like Minnesotans in a shared miserable experience. Once everyone realized they were going to get soaked, it became everyone's favorite cheerful thing to talk to strangers about. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, YO.
P.S. The LJ app is ass now. I knew this and had planned to avoid the upgrade. I selected "upgrade all" without thinking last night. Damn. Because it's totally unusable. Everyone was right.
