Happy Birthday J!

Since I can't post to her blog from work, then I'll post my belated wishes here. :)


Happy Birthday J!

It's Lobster Fest time again...

Lobster Fest at the Port of Los Angeles


Lobster Festival in Redondo Beach

Totally wish I could go to this...

Joy of Sake

Even Geeks have a love for culinary food...

A little excerpt from the World of Warcraft...my hubby showed me that even geeks can be culinary...

Looking a little closer will show you something yummy! How I love them truffles! Now, if my hubby could cook me up some truffle delights in the real world - that would be faaabulous!

"Deep Fry my deep fried and put some cheese on it please...."

My first visit to the Orange County Fair and what a deep fried experience that was!


Boy was it ever hot...and a little crowded but the heat tapered off later and we had a great time. I was really excited to try, for the first time, deep fried twinkies and oreos! There have been mixed reviews amongst my friends...though the one really bad review I won't really count since it was from a friend who was forced to eat 6 deep fried twinkies at his bachelor party as one of his humiliation tasks. I digress...though my emphasis before going to the fair was on the deep fried Oreo Cookie...the winner?...the deep fried Australian potatoes with cheese only on top. (no ranch, skip the ranch!) That was "THE BEST!". I'm so glad our friend B recommended it or I would seriously never had thought to try it. In addition to the fried stuff, there were some other things like the smoked Turkey legs! Ahhh - reminders of the Renaissance Faire (okay, go ahead and laugh...I only went once). Enough talking, here are those pictures I promised eons ago. But be warned...looking might prompt eating and eating 100% deep fried is not for the weak stomached! Enjoy!
Yum-e Smoked Turkey Legs!


Monkeys for my friend J.

Fair staples:


The Australian Deep Fried Potatoes! (below)
<--Well, then I gotta buy it now!
Gotta have drinks and we opted for the refillable:

Our one ride at the fair:

The deep fried collection starts here!:
<--deep fried snickers.
The very elusive deep fried booth buried at the back of the fair:

Deep Fried Twinkies on the left (one with strawberry topping and the other chocolate), deep fried Oreos at the top with chocolate topping and sprinkles, deep fried twinkie to the right (better eaten hot I think, we got it from another booth and by now it was a bit colder) and a Raspberry filled Krispy Kreme donut chicken sandwich...save your money and spend it on more deep fried Australian Potatoes...WITH CHEESE!
