L.A. County Fair
Sorry for the radio silence last week. We had a sick dog (she's fine...she's back to chewing on her brother's head and stealing food) and without blogging about work, 'cause I don't blog about work, that's all I have to say about that and then I was off to Portland with Regina.
But yeah, L.A. County Fair.
Ellen was super nice about it. But Ellen is super nice. Its why we love her.
I'm not nearly as nice. That's why you like me. But, I will tell you that the company I had was fantastic! But the fair itself...to me it felt like a Hollywood set director decided what a County fair *should* look like....which is incredibly L.A. and oddly appropriate if you think about it. There were corporate sponsorships and sets and really it was quite pretty.
But the food.
I had a better corndog last night at PDX than I did at the fair. And that's wrong I tell you. Fairs should have the BEST corn dogs. And they shouldn't be from Hot Dog on a Stick. They should be from mom'n'pop vendors that do fairs and really bad for your food really well. This sums up my feeling about the food at the L.A. County Fair. Seriously people, I came home, went to Gelson's and ordered a Wolfgang Puck pizza. I should come home and roll around the house for DAYS full from the fair food. I shouldn't be hungry and sad.
But, there was one glorious and wonderful thing about the fair and it wasn't the chocolate covered bacon (which, by the way, isn't nearly as frightening as you would think...its like a chocolate covered pretzel) it was Dr. Bob's Ice Cream. Oh. Mi. Gawd. For the sake of your waistline do NOT eat this stuff. It is great ice cream. Fabulous. I hope to never see it in my grocer's freezer or else I may be forced to buy it and eat it and that's BAD.
You've been warned.

I'm sure that none of the food at the LA Fair can compare to the food you had at the Minnesota State Fair! We're not really known for eating here in L.A. Minnesota is a different story. I've never been to any other County or State fairs. I'm sure if I visited one in the "heartland" I'd be much more cynical and disapointed in our L.A. version. Sigh.
