Fair Food

Summertime means OC Fair time again! Sometimes I forget about it and sometimes I'm excited for it... this year I was excited for it because we had gotten tickets to see Adam Lambert!!! *squeal* Since it's part of the whole summer series, your concert ticket gains you admittance into the fair as well. Since the concert fell on a non fair-operating day, we returned later to indulge... Here we go...

Oh gosh, was indulgence on the table! However, our entire afternoon/evening at the fair, Corina and I managed to eat only two things:

Zucchini Nachos

Stringed zucchinis, battered and deep fried, topped with nacho cheese, bacon bits and jalapeno slices...

The result? GOOD. Although I think I would have preferred the typical breaded zucchini over this universal batter that seemed to be shared throughout the fair (did you see the signs for deep fried butter and Klondike bars??? A friend of mine actually tried the deep fried butter *clutches heart* and she said it was kind of good, tasted like a super greasy churro...).

Having had enough calories to perhaps last us another couple of days, we ventured through the fairgrounds people watching and taking photos. But we knew we had to return for this, which we did as our last meal of the day (right before watching the hypnotist show, which I am hoping we burned the right amount of calories from laughter that we had consumed).

Mexican Funnel Cake

What's that, you ask? Why, it's a super long wrap-around of a churro, drizzled with some chocolate, dusted with powdered sugar, and topped with strawberries (we omitted the whipped cream for Corina's sake - girl doesn't dig that stuff).

The verdict? So good. And so greasy. We couldn't even finish it. And keep in mind that we shared the one order of the Zucchini Nachos and this one order of Mexican Funnel Cake. I guess we'll just have to wait for next year to try another heart-stopper (or not)!
