My 1000th Post! Dutchess County Fair food

 Yum!  Fair food!  When I started this blog 4 years ago, I never thought I'd still be doing it!  ( And I've almost stopped on several occasions)   But I'm still plugging along & I hope my faithful readers are still enjoying it.    My 1st few posts were about the Goshen Fair so it's only fitting I do another fair to mark this milestone!
A friendd & I went to the Dutchess County ( NY) Fair yesterday--she'd never been & I went about 25 years ago!  It about 1 hr. from where we live, so not a bad trip.  The fair runs for 6 days-Tues-Sun.
Had to scope out the food as we walked around.  We knew several friends would be there , so we looked around for them first...all the while looking at all the food choices......
Had a delicious waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream from this vendor--no calories in fair food, right?
Ended up with a roast beef sandwich with horseradish for lunch--ate it before I could take a photo!
Here's the most unusual food item we saw--spaghetti & meatballs on a stick!

Congrats on 1000! You Americans can deep fry anything! LOL

Thanks, Jeanie! I guess we do! The only thing I indulge in at our fair is onion rings--I gave up all the other deep fried stuff & my stomach thanks me!

Hmmmm. I could go for some good crab cakes! Congrats on 1000! I think we started blogs around the same time, and I can't believe I'm still doing it. Not sure how much longer I'll keep going.

Spaghetti and meatballs on stick. Wow. That's a first for me. What a mess to eat while you're walking around, though!

Thanks to all of you for being faithful readers and commenters! Deb--I never saw anyone eating it!
