I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

The 88th Annual WSNC Fall Festival eats and photos…

Posted on Oct 09 in Life in Evansville, parenting, personal stories, pictures say 1000 wordsby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

Last year was the 87th annual but I was all preggo and feeling like I would vomit so the sound of things like “Brain Sandwiches” just didn’t get me salivating so we skipped it. (I tweeted the photos, click on the images to see a larger view)

Yep.. Monster Ears...? on Twitpic

You see back in Arizona things like 4 block fried food festivals just don’t happen. Especially with menu items like Brain Sandwiches, Elephant Toes, Pickle Juice Icees and Trash Dog…

and Brain Sandwiches... on Twitpic

This year we visited the festival as a family with camera in hand. It was a cold wet day but we didn’t let that stop us! We bundled little Everly up withdrew some cash and were on our way.

Greasy fried food isn’t my thing. I blame it on my aversion to fried food smell thanks to my chicken fat grandma’s house that we were staying at when I was a kid. Since then the smell of fried foods (like at the fair and stuff) make me want to puke.

Anyway, the newspaper published this menu/ booth map so we had a few places mapped out to try. I was going to be open minded and try a bit of whatever looked good.

I was set out to score me a caramel apple and that was pretty much it. N was set on getting some greasier things.

First we tried the Fried Green Beans out. they were served with ranch dipping sauce and I really love them! N had tried them before and already knew he liked them. So we munched them up and plotted our next stop.

The next item was a Pronto Pup. These are basically hot dogs, corn dog style but in pancake batter… they came with ketchup and were okay in my book. N really like them but I thought the batter was a bit sweet to be combined with a hot dog and ketchup. Maybe if dipped in honey they would be tastier!

N spotted a booth selling Kuchen and said we needed to get one for tomorrow’s breakfast. It was basically a German coffeecake type ting that came in a variety of flavors like apple, cherry, cinnamon etc. It was very good!

The last few stops were for unexciting favorites like Funnel Cake and Caramel Apples. I was particularly disappointed with my Caramel apple though.

After I got all the plastic and paper off the apple there was no caramel left on it! Whom ever decided how to wrap and serve the apples wasn’t thinking of those people who would have to consume them :-(

All in all it was a nice little lunch outing for us and I am glad we went. Wasn’t brave enough to try those weird things, maybe next year!

    How fun! We didn’t hit the fall festival this year but I really enjoy reading about everyone’s culinary adventures. Thanks for sharing.

    maiden53: I’m not actually sure what the elephant toes turned out to be. The West Side Nut Club’s Fall Festival is an interesting culinary adventure of some of the weirdest and most obscure food items. You can get things like BBQ alligator jerky, burgoo, stuffed pepper soup and quakwurst (yes, that’s sausage made with duck). Then there are the booths that think of weird exotic dishes to counteract all of those ones like Elephent Toes, Elephant Ears, Pigs in the Mud and Puppy Chow. Puppy Chow happens to be a Chex Mix-like snack mixture. Pigs in the Mud, were strips of bacon baked into a small chocolate cake and drizzled with some type of chocolate or caramel sauce. Pig Lickers are another great one. Those are pieces of bacon dipped in chocolate.

    I like a little bit of adventure but will stick to the more mainstream items like Pronto Pups, Fried Green Beans and maybe a fried Oreo or two ;-)
