Fried State Fair of Texas

Yesterday I got to go with my family to the State Fair. It's the first time I've been there in at least 15 years. The prices for the rides were ridiculous. At $5 a pop, we only let our girls ride 1 ride and we skipped the rides. I was looking forward to some of the fair cuisine, but with so much to choose from, how do you decide? They offered just about anything you can imagine, fried-style. Here's the list I made of the fried choices:

• queso

• marshmallows

• moon pies

• smores

• peanut butter & jelly

• cookie dough

• guacamole

• pickles

• gator

• green tomatoes

• snowballs

• twinkies

• snickers

• cheesecake

• cake on a stick

• spicy olives

• Jelly Bellies

• avocado chunks (They should not call any food "chunks," how 'bout "pieces," or "slices")

• dinner rolls

• chicken fried bacon

I chose the Fried Coke, thinking "How can you go wrong there?" You can. it was disgusting. My theory that you can fry anything and it's good has officially been disproven.
