Well... MissyD will be having fun with your OT driven postings :D

A hot dog on a stick dipped in corn meal batter and deep fried.

Take your cholesterol meds before eating a couple :D


CORN DOG BATTER

6 c. cornmeal
3 c. plain flour
2 1/2 tsp. soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
3 c. buttermilk
2 1/2 c. water
2 eggs

In large mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and water. Beat in eggs and mix well. If batter gets stiff add small amount of water. Roll prepared weiner in batter and fry in deep hot oil until browned.
To prepare corn dog, use wieners right out of the package; insert stick and coat wiener by rolling it in the batter. Hold on to stick. Leftover batter may be kept a few days in the refrigerator. Can be made into cornbread by adding a little more liquid.

That explains why I'm not a fan... I'm not a fan of buttermilk. :)

Then I'd go for a couple slides on the big yellow monster - until Mrs BV told me about a girl who got a surprise episiotomy from a screw sticking up (possible urban legend but you can't be too careful). Later, sausages, fried dough, french fries, a candy apple and a look at the farm animals.

I went to the Big E for the first time this past September, wow it was really something else, very cool. I also went for a couple of slides on that big yellow slide, and I also went to the petting zoo place with the farm animals. They also had a very excellent circus. But in the state of Maine building they were selling baked potatoes, and they smelled so good. But for me the long was way too long, so I ended up eating one of those smoked turkey legs, then later on some cotton candy. That is really a cool fair, it was almost being like a kid again, and they had excellent free entertainment. But the bad news was the $13 admission price, for me pretty steep.

I really, really like the fried avocado that they serve at the Los Angeles County Fair.

My favorites are candy apples, caramel apples with peanuts, kettlecorn and funnelcake.

Cream Puffs at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee (West Allis). Served up by the Wisconsin bakers association. (Then you can walk across the way and wash it down with an ice cold PBR).
