Summer Fun

i got lucky while visiting, the St. Chris Fair was going on! i grew up going to this fair as a kid and as a teenager..hanging with friends, riding rides and looking for cute boys...feeling a bit nostalgic...who doesn't love a good fair. i got excited seeing the 'elephant ear' signs...(yes, food subject AGAIN) these delicious cinnamon sugar fattening fried dough the size of a plate goodness apparently are a Midwest thing..my husband gary has no clue what an elephant ear is...i associate these things with theme parks and fairs...-seriously how can you have never had one!? i must admit i was extremely disappointed when i went to Disneyland looking for my elephant ear stand! they DONT do elephant ears-they do churros!? -REALLY??? sorry but churros don't even compare to an elephant ear! i was not impressed...anyways, on that note! the kids rode some rides and I stalked the elephant ear stand! we hadn't eaten dinner yet so i didn't want to eat one, they smelled and looked delicious though...for dinner since everything nearly closes at 10 we went for some good ol' White Castles...(a good way to get the good old digestive system working! lol) that's the only way to eat them and the only time they really taste GOOD- 1. late at night 2. when you're really hungry 3. when you're hungover or drunk (which wasn't the case)
here's some pics from the fair ..
