Our first taste of Minnesota culture came at the Snelling fairgrounds...
we need to fit in here and become fat midwesterners... first step on our journey: DEEP FRIED CHEESE CURDS!
... and then a few more cheese curds...
what should we get as an after-curd nibbler? why the chocolate covered, whipped cream topped waffle, of course!
and what's the perfect dessert for a chocolate-covered waffle cone? TUB O' CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!
we then went to the one place we could still feel skinny... hangin' out with the farm piggies...
...squeezing their tiny little pig balls.
dale puts me in harm's way AGAIN with NO CONCERN for my safety!
so what if i had to bury my head in a man's shoulder for comfort...
I'm flyyyying!! IIII'M FLYYYYINNNG!!
dale made fun of the goats...
but he couldn't make fun of this sassy little number!
i tried to catch the horse poo live show, but the camera wasn't fast enough.
i saw this dump start from far away. i elbowed grammas and trampled children as i ran to get the shot, but i didn't make it...
OOOHHHH this one goes out to farm boys everywhere: NOW i get it!
i got a lesson from some farmers about how it's done...
YES, you see the sign correctly - ALL YOU CAN DRINK MILK for a buck!!!
you can't have cereal...
without a WHHOOOOLLLE LOTTA MILKA!!
velvetty chocolate milk proved a nice pairing for my bean n' cheese burrito
so what if dale won the cow wheel spin... i didn't want that STUPID rainbow pencil anyway!
ok, people, time for round 5!! dale got his pickle wrapped with meat and creamy cheese
i can't believe he ate this thing...
i haven't had one yet, but i can't wait to fill my mouth with a hot, greasy dago!
deep fried snickers and all you can drink milk? i think i'm in heaven!
the milk stand closed early?! ...
someone MUST die for this
is it time to go already? but we didn't even get to the deep fried taco cheese balls!
and what about the triple scoop ice cream dipped in chocolate and rolled in fudge? what if it's not there there next year??
classy folks sayin' HELLO to our new state!!!
