State Fair Food

The end of summer always signals the state fair. Warm days and cool nights and lots to see. After a 3 1/2 hour drive to my daughter's house, we walked 3 blocks to the Kansas State Fair. And look at the first thing we saw:                              

                  Free Ice Cream!!!!


WHAT??? 
I know, surprised  me too!



Free dixie cup sized ice creams. 


My daughter had been going to the fair all week, so she was telling me about all the strange and good food there. So for all you foodie people, I have chronicled the foods available.

 No sweet tea here, this is Yankee country, you have to ASK for sugar. 



I didn't see the red velvet funnel cakes, but they had carrot funnel cakes too. 





My daughter tried the deep fried chocolate chip cookie dough. They were balls about plum sized, with a batter around it, and dusted with powdered sugar. Not appealing to me at all. 


The standard fare.


These looked tempting, but I passed them up.

I really wanted to see what a Krispy Kreme Burger looked like, but I didn't want to ask anyone if I could take a picture of their food. 


How do they do that???





What did I eat? None of that. We found a BBQ place to eat. Yum!

Back to School Breakfast Table


 Yes I am.... (back to school).  How about a back to school table?





Do this  for nostalgia, cause if you do it to for your kids, most likely they will want to kill you. You are probably the only one glad to see them go back to school.

Sunflower Tablescape

I promise this is the last you will see of sunflowers and tomatoes from me! Both are gone... I went to the farmers' market Saturday, and most had no more tomatoes for this year. 


I do love the  late summer, early fall colors of sunflowers and tomatoes.



The sunflower salad plates and platter are Provincial Sunflowers by Tabletops Unlimited. The yellow dinner plates are Pier 1 New Essentials in Butter.
