Ahh, the State Fair. Considering I feel my stomach start to turn when I'm within smellshot of the little joint at Lake Calhoun, you can probably already guess that I'm not a huge fair food kind of girl.
HOWEVER. Although I can't pound the shakes from the Dairy Barn like I used to, Lord knows I'll forever and always deidcate the 3 days following my trip to the fair with breakfast, lunch, and dinner courtesy of Sweet Martha's cookies.
What I wouldn't give to be able to have milkshake right when I get through the gate, followed by waiting to wave during the Ken Barlow weather report on the 6:00 Kare11 News followed by another milkshake and maybe some free stickers from KDWB....oh to be 13 again.
Anyway, I am hoping to plan my trip to allign with Lori and Julia broadcasting live and/or Common. Fat chance that'll happen, but it'd be a dream come true of a fair trip for this girl. Who needs food when you have talk radio!?
Ok, so I just found out a guy I work with has grandparents who have owned a Cheese Curds stand at the fair for 35 years. I'm not sure why cheese curds needed to capitalized but he has been working there for 15 years. I asked him if he gets sick of them and he said never. I think I could handle a good 3 cheese curds before I start hearing Jillian Michels tell me how I weak I am and threatening to make me do the modified exercises with Anita. I can't handle that. I'm too competitive to give in to doing the modified. If I can't keep up with Natalie and Jillian, then I'm not even going to bother Shredding. (who even knows what I'm talking about now)
Anyway, I'll be steering clear of everything that's not Mowi Wowis and Sweet Martha's Cookies. Well, maybe I'll give the funnel cake fries a shot but only because they have chocolate dipping stuff.
OH and for you people who do not set restrictions on your fair food finds...let me just remind you that it takes 1355 steps to burn off one Pronto Pup. You're welcome.
Oh yeah, which reminds me...here are some more accurate smoothie recipes courtesy of my Women's Health Daily Dose newletter. They must be reading my blog too.
Anyway, 53% of people go to the fair ultimately for food. The only thing that draws people to the fair as much as the food is: the Miracle of Birth exhibit.
ahem....no thanks. Won't catch me there. It is two of the things I am least interested in: birthing and animals.
I will say that if I pass Green Mill, I may have a hard time saying no to this dessert pizza thing. Someone try it and describe it to me in full detail please. Meanwhile, I will do my best to avoid it at all costs because the last thing I can do is let Jillian and Bob down a mere 3 weeks before they're back in my life.
do you do the jillian michels workouts 'on demand' or something? i want to try them, i just figured out how to do 'on demand'.
ReplyDeletedid megan tell me she sent me a text that said "shut up and put your money where your mouth is, that's what you get..." and that even though i was driving to vegas at the time, i had NO IDEA what she was talking about because i had never heard the katy perry song. i seriously thought she was mad at me and i couldn't figure out why. eric was like, "you better call her RIGHT AWAY." too funny...
