Hard boiled egg on a stick? Salad on a stick? LOL!

Probably the healthiest Iowa State Fair stick foods.

Geez...

I was laughing at the egg, too. Think I would stick to a corn dog and
an ear of corn!

Merryb,

Candied apples were my favorite vs. caramel apples.

Best,

How could you choose between a candied apple and a caramel apple? I
would have to sample them both before I could make a choice. <wink, wink>

Becca,

It was probably color appeal more than anything.

SO... candied in our left hands, caramel in our right.

[Arm in arm] LET'S GO! :)))

It's caramel apple (hands down) for me. With or without nuts is my
big decision.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You know how to show a gal a good time, Andy. :-P


On this day in history in 1872, the dougnut cutter was patented by John
Blondel from Thomaston, Maine. After reading that, I have been in the
mood for a donut all day. Not that I want a donut, I just like to
recognize history. <anybody buying that story?>

No wonder deforestation is a problem in the world!

I must say I have never heard of at least three of these things

Chocolate-covered peanut rounds
Deep-fried Ho-Ho
Dutch letters

If I recall correctly, a Ho-Ho is a small chocolate cake with cream
(or vegetable shortening, more accurately) filling, like a Hostess
cupcake. I believe it's dipped in a chocolate glaze.

You'd have to batter it to deep fry it.

Nobody goes to a state fair to eat healthy food. Get real.

Dutch Letters are well known in some communities in Iowa - Pella,
famous for its tulip time and wooden shoes, is famous for Dutch
Letters (pastries). You haven't lived until you've had some.

Yup, just another deep fried item similar to a battered and deep-fried
Twinkie.

I always have some key limes and found some chocolate bark so I thought
I'd try to see if I could make chocolate covered key lime rounds on a stick.

First, peeling a key lime is not easy. Even with a sharp paring knife
and an as seen on TV Titan peeler. I managed to peel the little lime and
skewer it.

I melted the bark in the microwave and dunked the lime on a stick then I
let it harden. It looked very cute.

Eating it was not fun. What I managed to do was squish it with my teeth
and some chocolate-flavored lime juice squirted out.

The combination of the tart limes and chocolate is still intriguing, but
the process needs some direction.

Go to a Sonic. Get a chocolate limeade. Problem solved.
