Image from I've been living in the Twin Cities for 15 months now, but I've realized that I'm not even close to being a full-fledged Minnesotan. While everyone around me seems to be flocking to the Minnesota State Fair (and I mean everybody; look at these attendance numbers), to me it's sounding, well, kind of gross.
I've never been to the fair and know I shouldn't knock anything 'til I've tried it, but I just listened to a very long, very disturbing conversation outside my office door about the various things my coworkers have eaten there this week. They included a BUCKET of cookies (followed by all you can drink milk) and bacon on a stick.
Let's consider this. Bacon. On a stick. Oh, and it's served with assorted dipping sauces. And weighs a THIRD OF A POUND. That's more meat than a quarter-pounder. Except all bacon.
Now, I'm no health nut. I love my cookies AND my bacon (well, maybe not together). But something about them in this context sort of skeevs me out.
But maybe it's not too late for me. I know the fair has other things I like. There's beer (overpriced beer, but beer all the same) and cute baby animals, and maybe if I tried really hard I could get used to the excessive amounts of food on a stick. Maybe, if I put in the effort (and start eating a lot more hotdish) I can truly become a Minnesotan.
But for now I'm just going to contemplate bacon on a stick and throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I personally have never tried anything "on a stick" except a normal pronto pup/corn dog. I had one this year and burped it for about 8 hours. (I know, TMI)
The bacon on a stick with chocolate??Sounds so disgusting.
But I must admit to you, I was one of the desperate people in the line of hundreds that stood for 20 minutes to just get a BUCKET of Sweet Martha's Chocolate Chip cookies. They were so completely worth the $14 I paid for the 4 dozen cookies, but after the first day, they turn to a scary , sugary, crystalized form of goo that I threw away. So I guess the moral of that to me is:
Only buy what you'll eat or your children or boyfriend will help you consume in a few hours time; middle of the night wake ups included!
I just love the way you write! Keep it up!
Tomorrows post will be the Henna I got on my hand at the Fair. Love that. My own version of a temporary tattoo.
