i love fall!! the leaves change, the weather change, the smell of fried everything in the air. thats right.... its also fair time around these parts!!! now, my husband & i love to spend one whole day at the fair. from the time it opens till the time they kick us out. we dont do rides, or stand in crazy long lines for some silly biscit & jam. (gf or not!!)( 1.25 a scone..... thats crazy) anywho!!!! we go to see everything & eat other things. well, this year marks my 2nd birthday being gluten free. the first year we went i really wasnt sure why we were even there. i couldnt have anything but an ear of roasted corn for 3 bucks. the funny thing about that is ive been holding out on corn on the cob in stores till it went back to 10 ears for a buck. that hasnt happened in over 10 years. the closest i got was 5 for a buck. anyway, back at the fair......theres this thing i can have, im all excited, im ready to plunk my well earned bucks down when the love of my life says.....you wont pay $1 for 5 ears but youll pay $3 bucks for 1????!!!! im not going to lie.. my heart broke right there. he was right. couldnt do it. ( he has since regretted saying that :) ) we left the fair early last year. i was done. maybe this fair thing just isnt for gluten free foodies. yea, the horses, pigs, seeing my dad sell metal detectors is a huge part of goin to the fair, but the food!! come on!!! the food!!!! well, this year ( with much reluctense) we went. first people in the door we were so early. we looked at stuff, bought a new flag for the home, he (hubby) got a free scone, then came lunch time. we grabbed dad & went to bbq petes. i can eat there. bbq is safe & yummy. good too. thats all fine & dandy. about an hour later john asks how im doin. i tell him im starved!! no good!! the hunt begins. do we dare try this, well, how bout that??!! i figure ill just take deep breathes & maybe itll go away. 730p.m. nope. still hungry. tryed soft serve. that was nice but no quite it. john jumps up & practicly yells POPCORN!!!!! ok, i can have that. still not it thou. & then i spot it!! the thing i know i can have, the thing that i have got to have now!!!!! the largest plate of nachos ive ever seen!!!!! sammy hagar is about to take the stage (we arent there for him but we are under the grandstand were lots of food places are) its quiet at the booth. i walk over. the girl behind the counter smiles. i say, i would never do this if you werent dead, not that your dead. she understands. i tell her im gluten intolerant, does she know what that is. she smiles & says" your gluten free. i work at a bakery at fred myers & i know all about you" i about passed out!! i know, that sounds funny but if your like me, that fact she even knew what i was , how i have to be & she cared??!!!! you know!!!! she went over everything with me. the chips, how they were done, the seasoning for the burger, everything. i paused, looked at my husband, looked back at the girl. i ordered!!!!!& i ate til i was so stinkin full ( what was the name of the rat in charletts web??? templeton!!!) thats how i felt. it was the best!!! i was greatful!!! happy, excited!! & so was my hunny. yep, you too can eat at the fair. be cautious of course. always listen to that little voice. & live a bit!!! i love the fair again!! we stayed till close. walked the four blocks back to the truck happy, full & tired as all get out. it was a great day!!!!!!
