Fair Food

First things first, Reagan won a blue ribbon at the fair today. For you non 4-Hers, participants can win white, red, blue and purple ribbons. White is not desirable. Red means you completed the task but could improve. Blue means good job and the top scorers in each class get purple. We are very happy with the blue. It was the first time both horse and rider had done this particular class and they did great. Now, on to the food.

If anyone ever wants to test whether or not humans can live on funnel cake alone, I volunteer to be a subject. For now, common sense tells me that this is not a good idea so we have been bringing in our own food to the fair. We were there for 11 hours today. Food is important. I was in charge of bringing breakfast. Making muffins was a no brainer, as was the coffee pot but I wanted to make something more substantial as well. The crock-pot was definitely in order as I wanted something that would be ready when we left way too early this morning and that would stay warm for a couple of hours when we got there. I found
and was very pleased with the results. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, but the basic formula is good and you could do a lot of variations. Also, I made
from the Barefoot Contessa. They are heavenly. You can click on the links above for the recipes or look
to find them.
