State Fair of Texas 2011

One of my favorite things about living near Dallas is going to the state fair every year.  It is the largest fair in the USA, and I look forward to going every year.  This time, we sampled fried cookie dough, fried upside down pineapple cake for the first time.  Both excellent.  Of course we had the obligatory Fletcher’s corney dogs and tornado potatoes.  I also listened to the excellent band “The Killdares“, a local band that plays celtic rock.

Come and Take It

We almost made it through all the booths without finding a new kitchen gadget or cleaning tool that impressed us.  Then we came to the “Grill It” booth.  This thing reminded me of Asian restaurant we would eat at in Miami where the grill was in the middle of the table.  I tried it out tonight and it does work well.  Very little smoking and great results.
