Something Shiny

I’m heading to the MN State Fair today. I am going to eat like… like a guy who’s going to eat a lot. It’s ridiculous I pay to park or pay to take the bus, to pay admission to buy overpriced food at the fair. And I love it. I attribute it to a defect in my programing.

A few of the items on my to-do list include chocolate covered bacon, a corn dog, mini donuts, roasted corn, a pronto pup, peach glazed pork cheeks, deep fried snickers bar, cheese curds, and any other food stuff foolish enough to stray into my path.

The beverages are never as enticing as the food (probably because it’s tough to deep fry beverages), but this year I’m hoping to try the “Summit on a stick” (a Summit Beer sampler served in a paddle of sorts) and the wine tasting from the Agriculture Building.

On a related topic, the chocolate Conan O’Brien bust with bacon hair I’d mentioned earlier has a twitter account (@BaconCocoaConan).
