State Fair Eats

[pen_grunt]

We went to the fair on Friday--which made it seem like a Saturday which, with the extra weekend day on Monday, makes this weekend nice and long.

It was a decent, if very different, State Fair experience this year. Pushing around a stroller is cumbersome. The baby was great, though. She got out to eat, but otherwise was totally content just being in the stroller and watching things.

What we ate (and drank) between 3 people:
(Not necessarily in this order)

Blue cheese corn fritters (YUM)
Breakfast burrito (just D)
Raspberry wine slushy (just sister and myself)
Beer sampler (just D)
Frozen apple cider pops
Cheese curds (of course)
Frontenac Gris (wine--just sister and self)
Pronto pup (just D)
Bacon SPAM burgers (YES YES YES)
Sweet corn ice cream (meh. SUPER sweet)
Deep fried pickles (classic)
Tiny Tim Donuts (just for mom)
Sweet Martha's Cookies (to bring home to make the best s'mores ever)
Macaroni and cheese "cupcake" (good!)
Caramel apple beer (just D)
Wine sampler--white (just D)
Roasted corn

It feels like I'm missing something? Though I don't know how I could be. Splitting food is definitely the way to go for maximum trying.

The baby just had milk. Outside the wine pavilion while I was sipping a wine slushy and being silently judged. She also nursed in the Ergo all sitting-up and freestyle when the state fair mascot came over to say hi to her. Hello mascot! Here is my boob!

This is the MN State Fair? Not enough food on sticks.

I know! Well, there is the pronto pup. I was going to bring an empty stick to hold up when I needed to feed the baby, but didn't end up bothering.

Even B thought the sweet corn ice cream was only meh. And She Enjoys Corn™.

I had it last year or the year before and thought it was meh, too. I don't know why I thought this year would be different. It was just way-way-way too sweet. And I like sweet. We couldn't finish a single dish between the three of us.

Was that at Blue Moon? The place with the classic movies and repurposed minivan benches for seating? Cuz the corn pizza always works...
