Fair Day & a Gross Picture of Me

I LOVE the State Fair. Some of my best memories are from the fair. Picture me, my older sister Courtney and our cousin Geordan in matching red t-shirts, overalls and red cowboy boots. With our sweet grandparents who took us to the fair to the see Icecapades. Ya just don’t get much better than that friends.

(the root variety of course)

So Mr. Darcy and I went this year with a few friends. This was our first time to go together because he is from England and sadly had never experienced the Great State Fair of Oklahoma. Poor kid; must be tough growing up in England. And last year we were not acquaintances as of yet.  So this was a momentous occasion for us as a couple.

Question for ya’ll: do you know what funnel cake is? Is the world aware of this amazingly delicious item of food choice? Because if you’re not than you are just sad. Mr. Darcy didn’t know what it was, but then again he’s from across the pond and they do weird things like eat beans for breakfast and pronounce buoy “boy”.  (This is a big discussion for us. Boys aren’t floating orange balls. Just saying.) But back to funnel cake; in case you aren’t in the know on all your fair fare (you see how I did that? Fair fare? I’m so clever), I shall tell you:
Funnel cake is batter, dribbled over hot oil and deep fried, pulled out, covered in powdered sugar and stuffed into my belly.

Not sure what's going on here, but that's a funnel cake. :)



UH.MAZING. ‘nuff said.

On another note, here’s a random hideous morning picture of my new green door and black shutters! Please excuse the pitiful human being in the picture. She is of no importance. But in case you wondered:
Button down: Old Navy; Grey Bow tee: Forever 21; Black wide leg dress pants: Forever 21; Red heels you can’t see: Chinese Laundry. Glasses: Candy’s.

Lots of I’m stuffed to the brim with deep fried batter and root beer love,

  4. Discussing differences between the US and the UK never gets old. My husband and I have been together for two years and I'm still amazed by stuff he's never heard of. He'd never had PB&J until he met me. Can you believe that?
