Alaska Fair

I went to my fair with my friends Marissa, Erin, and Dene.  It was not the best day to go to the fair it was a little rainy and a little windy.  We pulled up right before the fair opened and when I got out of the car and put my jacket on Marissa told me that everyone was going to laugh at me not because I was wearing one jacket but because I was wearing two.  But in my defense one was for warmth and the other was to keep my dry.  Our main goal of the fair was to eat the wonderful fair food.  All the deep fried crap we could muster.  We started on our gorge ourselves until we pop journey with deep fried peaches.  They were heavenly.  They were surrounding a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a mint sprig on top.  With a light dusting of cinnamon.  It was like a party in my mouth.  All the goodness of peaches and cream mixed with the goodness of deep frying it.  mmmm pure heaven to my taste buds.
 My next stop down food lane was the deep fried (catching onto the theme here) cheese curds.  In my opinion there is not many thing better then deep fried cheese.  The saltiness mixed with the crunchy batter is enough to leave you wanting more.
 Erin and I eating our peaches n cream supreme (not the real name but what I now dub it)
 Marissa got this gem of a food item.  Zucchini and squash covered in marinara sauce and cheese.  Not my favorite or what I pictured fair food to be at all.
 These little balls of goodness are Korean Cookies.  They came in 4 different flavors.  I only tried the chocolate ones.  They are a mix between a donut and a muffin in my opinion.  They are quite tasty.
After we tried the donuts we got an Irish Pasty.  Which was one of the worst things that I have ever eaten in my life.  Erin bought a chicken one.  A pasty is like a meat pie with potatoes in it.  The grease they fried it in tasted old and the insides left much to be desired and tasted like fish.  I could not even swallow mine.  It was horrible.  It didn't even warrant a picture although now I wish I would of gotten one just to show you what not to eat.
 Our last food item on the make Jessica sick train was onion rings.  This plate of onion rings has only about half on it that it came with.  The plate was piled so high.  But they were tasty.  The only thing that I didn't really enjoy about it was the grease flavor that lingered in my mouth for hours afterwards. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.  But while I was eating it I couldn't tell.
That my friends in a nut shell is the fair food exploration that I went on.  Was it tasty?Yes!  Am I looking forward to next year? Most definitely!
