'we're going to the fair, and all we're gonna do is eat...'

welcome to the north carolina state fair mentality. something one of my dearest friends in the world, mark, and i agreed upon this past monday. it's been 3 years since i've been able to go to the fair... that's 3 years that did not contain fried candy bars... should that even be allowed?! thank goodness mark and i ate our weight in fair food to make up for the sugar drought!

in case you were wondering, here's what we ate:
- 1 footlong hot dog
- 1 bloomin' onion (unfortunately, it was not an awesome blossom... it needed some extra awesome)
- apple fries (DELISH!!! a new treat that mark introduced me to... next time, we're bringing the 'a la mode')
- 1 philly cheesesteak
- 1 fried 3 musketeers (all of y'all back in oakland know how i am about some 3 musketeers!)
- 1 basket of fried oreos

the result: we looked like this.

(okay, but seriously... how precious are these things?! i want one right now!!! paul, do you think we can sneak another animal into 703?!)

more pictures of the fabulous evening!!!:

me and my sweet mark.

the EXACT moment i found out how fantastic fried oreos are.

it was a great night. thank you for eating loads of food & looking at the livestock with me, mark!
