Today Jesse and I went on a double date with Jenny and Jason to the Texas State Fair. It claims to be the biggest fair in the US. I think it was just most the crowded, especially when it started pouring rain and the only place to find shelter was the food court (which was not meant to hold EVERYONE AT THE SAME TIME!!!). After the rain, however, enough people left to where it was fun to walk around. Avoiding puddles is much more enjoyable than getting pushed around!
There is thing that I feel I should mention. The health nut in me died a grotesque and agonizing death today. This wasn’t just your typical, run of the mill Fair Junk Food. This was the Mother Ship of everything bad for you. In fact, I’m fairly certain you could arrive at the fair in 100% health and leave in an ambulance with a heart clogged with fat embolisms.
For example:
They sell deep-fried Snickers:
And deep-fried cookie dough:
And EVEN (get ready for it…) deep fried butter!
We also saw other deep-fried things: funnel cakes (yum!), jalapeño cheese corndogs, Nutter Butters, Oreos, cheesesticks, french fries (which means they’ve been deep-fried TWICE) and even soda. Yeah, I know. How on earth do you deep fry SODA?
