Well, we all know it's not fall yet. A quick step outside into the heat and humidity will confirm that. But it's getting closer, and we all know what that means. State fair! (okay, probably it means something else to you but this is my blog after all...)
NC State Fair has a blog. Well, the blog I don't think is new but the look is all spiffy and (appropriately) deep-fried. Also they moved to a new URL, guaranteeing that all my links from last year don't work anymore. (damn internets...)
Also, this, chronicling food finds at the Iowa State Fair. And I'm pleased to say that a bunch of their selections (including deep-fried Snickers bar, butter sculpture -- altho not of Neil Armstrong, giant punkins and, yes, pork chop on a stick) are also available at the NC fair.
We do need to work on narrowing the gap in insane cakes decorated with a rodent theme. And deep-fried cupcakes. On a stick.
