The Chatty Gourmet

The OC Fair is in town!  I went on Sunday morning around 9:30 and was one of the first in line! It was so much fun. It was super hot all day but there are enough things to see inside buildings that it really didn't bug us all that much. Enough about the weather, let's talk fair food! Seems like the new thing this year is to do really strange things with zucchini. There are zucchini nachos, and a "zucchini weenie". What? Yes, a hot dog inside a zucchini battered in corndog stuff and deep fried. Wow. I stayed away. Last year I really wanted to try the deep fried pop tart and it was a big disappointment. I stick to the basics; regular corn dog, bbq corn and caramel apple. I looked for the eggroll on a stick, but to no avail- bummer. I always want to get the giant turkey leg, but I'm scared! I just stare at people who are chowin' down on those things from a distance and live vicariously through there brave lives. We hit the game area, went on rides, made friends with several farm animals and met some really nice people. Everyone should go to the fair at least once this year!
