Um...Okay

Just had this conversation with Deals:

I asked her if I could eat lunch with her, or would she rather eat alone?

She assured me that, "as human beings, [lunch] tends to be a social activity, reminiscent of running in packs like dogs, but different."

Right. I guess that means she doesn't mind if I eat lunch with her?

That's What the Fair's All About

Yesterday I met the third-place winner for the hand-crank ice cream contest. Cool.

Incident Report, 10/7/05

1. Ran in to door on way to get water.
2. Ran in to door on way back from getting water.
3. Ran in to doorway.

And the other day, I accidentally keyed my own car.

Fried Cheesecake

This is not a new fair food item, but it is the first year I've been able to afford to buy it. I liked it. It was 10 coupons, which is a bit steep, and 2 coupons more for the strawberry sauce, but I really enjoyed it. It was very rich, though, so it wouldn't hurt to split it with someone.

Cheddar Sweet Potato French Fries (Fair Food Reviews, Continued)

I liked them much better than did JLR. The fries came topped with, I believe, brown sugar, which JLR didn't care for. They also came with a side of ranch, which she did care for, as did I.

I liked them, but I don't believe I'd pay 7 coupons for them again. Like the fried apple taco, I liked them enough to buy them again but not if I have to pay for them myself. I have a limited budget, after all.

[Aside to JLR: Sweet Maui Onion!]

Chicken 'n biscuit

It was good. Sooooo good. Chicken and biscuit, two of my favorite things. Plus honey!

(three coupons each)

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Not nearly as good as the ones I make at home (and not freshly made, either), but for only 3 coupons, it's a sweet Fair Food deal.

Fried Apple Taco

Good. Like the White Chocolate Bread Pudding (henceforth WCBP), it errs on the side of bland, but it's still a tasty treat. Don't know if I would again spend 8 coupons on it, but I'm glad to have had it once. If I had someone to share it with, I would be glad to spend 4 coupons. Also, as a good sign that part of it (I'm not sure which part) was freshly made, I had to wait a couple of minutes for it to be ready. Tasted better than the WCBP.

One Down, Eight to Go

White Chocolate Bread Pudding

Good (if a bit bland), too rich for one person to eat. Very hot. Burnt tongue.
