fair time already??

fair time already??

fair
the winona county fair is early! i’m used to county fairs in august; to have one in mid-july is pretty intense. so nate and i had to scope it out. we checked out the non-horse animal barns (to prevent anaphylactic shock), made a lap around the midway, strolled through one vendor barn (the one with the GOP station in it – bleah), and took a walk down the food run.
one mediocre corn dog and a stellar bag of tom thumb minidonuts (the only kind) later, we left and deemed it not quite, but almost as good as the benton county fair. and the benton county fair isn’t that great. what put the benton county fair ahead? they have DEEP FRIED CANDY BARS and this one didn’t. get on it, winona!

nate, liz, hannah, and i went to como park/zoo today. hannah was tired, and liz, nate, and i got depressed from seeing all the animals in captivity. the poor seals were swimming laps in a pool maybe 20 ft long 🙁
anyway, got some non-animal pics.

Hannah’s one year photos. My backdrops were wrinkly, Hannah was teething, sleepy, and cranky, and the tutu was a little big. not my best photos, but there are some cute ones!

pecan pie

pecan pie

i’m cutting it close tonight! i wanted to get some shots of my pecan pie in this post, so that’s why the late post.
after i stopped eating devil’s syrup, i wanted to make a pecan pie. surprise surprise, pecan pie contains corn syrup. in fact, it was created specifically to help SELL corn syrup. (so sayeth the corn syrup people.) wow.
but i did some digging and found this recipe for DS-free pecan pie. i’ve been making it for a few years now. i also have made my crusts with butter and lard now for a few years as well. crisco is all trans fat, and now that the government might ban trans fats, well! let’s say i was ahead of the curve.
