I've been slacking on this blog lately! I know you're probably dying for an update, right? Haha... yeah. Well you're getting one anyway.
Aaron and I made our annual trek to the county fair on Thursday with his brother Noah and Noah's wife, Brandy. We had a good time! Although, I think we're officially old because we were FAR more interested in the Gems and Minerals building than the children's art that our counterparts wanted to check out (hello - a huge, detailed model train display, random people's random collections, and cool rocks and fossils? What's not to love about that?? ...Oh that's right, I'm a dork). Plus we were ready to go home after about two hours. Sorry if we were duds, guys!
So anyway, Aaron has been telling me about the pure deliciocity of deep fried Twinkies and Oreos for the past four years. Apparently he had them at the fair once and has been craving them ever since. Every year he looks for them, and every year I tell him, "They didn't have them last year, they probably won't have them this year," while secretly hoping I would eat my words and get to try one of those sinful delights!
Well, the four of us were wandering aimlessly through (what I think was) the Commercial building, having just bought a bunch of mini donuts (Brandy got to eat her words on that one - before she saw the machine that makes them she was questioning why everyone loved them so much), when I happened to see a banner out of the corner of my eye that said "Deep Fried Twinkies - Deep Fried Oreos - Deep Fried Snickers." I grabbed Aaron by the sleeve and turned him toward the booth and his eyes lit up! It didn't matter that he had just eaten 6 mini donuts, he'd been waiting years for this moment! He ordered a deep fried Twinkie from the lovely Southern ladies running the booth (I just love those accents!) and was in heaven. I had a couple bites and it was not bad, it mostly just tasted like funnel cake. (But I think it probably lost some of its appeal after all those donuts!)
I hear the deep-fried Oreos are divine, so hopefully that booth will be back at the fair next year. That should be long enough to get all the artery-clogging goodness out of my system!

Well Grandma rocks can't beat the wonderful of the imagination of a child with a pen and a peice of paper..especially when these child draw Twilight *slaps forehead*. That aside it's amazing!!
The twinkie weirdness what not my cup of tea, but maybe next year, but without you foogies, go befriend your fossils.
