Liquids and more at the fair

I've noticed that my latest favorite treats at the fair have been in liquid form. Maybe it was the short heat wave. I think I am up to three or four Frappes at the Farmers' Union Building. One of the best drinks I have ever had is the honey lemonade at the horticultural building, it's not too sweet and almost creamy. Lucsious. I've also greatly enjoyed a cherry and root beer floats. I just love that foamy layer.

But the very best item I have had at the fair so far is...drum roll please...the sweet corn ice cream at Blue Moon Diner. There are no words. It's creamy, subtle, with a little crunch from corn kernels. They don't get in your teeth like you'd expect, the texture is more like that of potato chips. I had mine without topping, while Alissa tried the wild blueberry topping on hers. Both version were divine, although I would recommend the blueberry topping for the nice touch of tartness.

We'll be back Monday, Labor Day, for the last day, and my last hoorah before getting back on track. Hmmm, what to eat, what to eat...

And naked...


My beloved Frappe. What will I do without you for a full year? 


With a coupon book, the Green Mill pizza slices are four for eight dollars. Great deal, and a nice hearty dinner after a day of treats. Even Millie liked it!
