Ladies and gentlemen, when I die you can scatter my ashes at the Minnesota State Fair. My hope is that my ghost will follow the ashes and I’ll be able to eat fried food on a stick for all eternity. We’ve had absolute -scads- of food. It’s awesome though. Everything we get is split up to 7 ways so we’re getting to try a lot more than we would otherwise. The list, for posterity, is as follows

Bag of mini donuts (what a great way to start the day)
Mocha on a stick
Fried green tomatoes
Corndog (both regular and -zilla sized)
Pronto Pup
Chocolate dipped bacon (oh yeah…the whole reason I went to the midwest)
Fried Reeses peanut butter cups
Bucket of cookies (maybe a couple buckets)
Milk (chocolate and regular)
Fried cheese curds (this was my personal favorite)
Mac and cheese on a stick
Giant tater tots on a stick
Fried pork chop sandwich
Corn fritters
Bag of mini cinnamon rolls
Ruben pretzel (gross)
Strawberry creme parfait (ditto)
Strawberry crepe (what the hell is with all the healthy fruit stuff)
Potato cheese crepe (that’s better)
Frozen lemonade
Rolaids
Tums
Pepto
lactaid
gas-ex
triple bypass

As you can kind of tell from the picture, this place has got -a lot- of people here. We thought we were going to be sneaky and come on a Friday when other people were working. That didn’t appear to work so well. Or it worked great and we have no idea how insane this crowd can truly be, I’m not sure which. Regardless, it’s been a great day and I’m looking forward to heading back to the hotel for a nap.

And then some dinner of course
