Hey!. I am going to check it, since I saw a comment in another site regarding \”Manolo for the Big Girl!\”. Someone related to white chocolate covered strawberries recipes. Thanks anyway.

De, were you East or West Montgomery? My mother still lives in the eastern part of the county, though I have long ago moved on to the (beautiful, but now ravaged) shores of Galveston Bay.

I’m going next Wednesday. I’m really, *really* looking forward to the fried s’mores.

That said, I usually take only one or two bites of Fair food. It gets really old really fast. Besides, I like to save room for beer. (Shiner!)

Zee fairr und Eye… vee arre luvers…

Did you know, in Dallas, they not only let the kids out for “Fair Day” but they give free tickets. I’m not normally one for big crowds, but I think constant exposure to the Fair has made me immune to its overwhelming-ness. My folks used to enter the Canning competition (won 186 ribbons) so they made a huge deal of going more than once a season. Imagine being dragged by your mother through the livestock barns. All SEVEN of them. EVERY YEAR. Wait, why do I like the Fair?

I think all those heart-attacks-on-sticks are newish. All I remember is Jimmy Dean Smoked Sausage on a Stick followed by a giant Cinnamon Roll and some Schwepps skim milk. I don’t do corny dogs, so the Fletcher’s booths held no appeal.

There are foods I do like fried, but I couldn’t see myself eating any of that. I’ll just stick with the cotton candy and lemonade.

Fried bacon? Sounds yummy! We went to the WI state fair just to try the fried mac and cheese and it was worth it.

I was about to ask why you were in Montgomery County as well, until I saw your response…

Hi Tellicherry, I grew up in Montgomery County (and parts of San Jacinto County) too! Now I’m a resident of Austin, like our lovely Bloggeress.

I always loved the County Fairs here in Texas, it was one of the things I looked forward to every Spring. I loved walking along the exhibit hall and seeing people’s crafts and wares, and I loved seeing the animals, riding the rides and most important of all, getting a funnel cake and a corn dog to munch on.

Some of my happiest memories are tied to that setting.

That being said, MYGOD. Chicken Fried Bacon? Lets take a piece of FAT, then deep fry it in more FAT. I feel my arteries tightening as I read!!

DoubleK takes one for the Team! That’s what I like to see!

Tellicherry, I was in Montgomery County, Maryland (was not born a Texan, through no fault of my own)

A lover of the Texas State Fair.

I will try all that is fried and give a report on all its awesomeness. Last year’s Fried Cookie Dough was excellent and of course you can never go wrong with the Fried Peanut Butter, Jelly & Banana sandwich.

I am so sad that I’m not going to the Fair this year. How much do I want to eat chicken fried bacon? I even lowered my cholesterol to 183 in preparation for the event. Unfortunately, life conspires against me.
