Weekend Foodie

It's definitely been a weekend full of fun and food. I headed to the OK State Fair on Friday night to meet up with some friends. We walked through several buildings...the baby goats are my favorite...and indulged in some classic fair food. It's been a couple of years since I've been to the fair. And I normally go for a corn dog and a cinnamon roll and/or I share a funnel cake (because when you eat a whole funnel cake bad things happen...like you lose your gallbladder)...but anyways... I started off with a corn dog, which I regretted after I ran into the fried PB&J. Obviously, I will be trying that next year. 

For dessert, I opted for cheesecake (on a stick), dipped in PB sauce, and rolled in Oreos. It was good. But I know that I could make better cheesecake and better PB sauce, so people tell me I'm a "fair food snob." Better stick with the cinnamon rolls and funnel cakes... My friends shared some of their grub. We all tried some fried watermelon. I didn't hate it. And the marshmallow cinnamon cream dipping sauce was fab. The fried Oreos were pretty intensely sweet. And my bite of funnel cake was bomb.

This afternoon, I hit up the Greek Festival at St. George's. I've always wanted to go. Never had the time. I like Greek food. And I was told it's pretty great. So I went and got some tasty stuff. Like I would much rather indulge on Greek Fest food than fair food. I can recommend the gyro wrap and the calamari. 

And, if your sweet tooth can handle it, the Zorba sundae is legit. Salted ice cream with baklava. Goodness. Besides some great food, there's live music and dancing and a bunch of fun things for kiddos. And, let's not pretend that I wasn't tempted by the inflatables. 

My summer is officially winding down. Just in time for the official beginning of fall...aka PUMPKIN EVERYTHING SEASON!!! Now, excuse me while I go try to convince my body that it is not coming down with the upper respiratory infection that's been going around. I can't be having that!
