What, fried coke! I googled it, and ewwww! We got a funnel cake at the county fair this summer, we ate it, then we wished we hadn't!!! It's amazing to me what Americans will eat.

We went to eat at Martha Ann's Woman's Club last Tuesday. Someone at our table who knew that I try to eat healthy was asking me questions about sugar/alternative sweetners. They had just asked if I ever break down and eat something sweet and I assured them I did but it usually was something that was one of my very favorites. They asked me what I eat when I "splurge" at the exact same time the waitress started bring around strawberry cheese cake. I told them I was going to taste that and if it was "really a good cheesecake" I would be splurging tonight. It was and I did!!! I have been eating well the remainder of this week to give my immune system a chance to build back up after that really rich sugar splurge! I actually had some nasty sugar this week also.

No fried marshmallows, fried oreos, or fried bologna for us either. George did try the Tornado Taters and we found the $1 hot dog stand, but we also brought in quite a few snacks and our own water. We were tempted by the Root Beer, but were able to resist it - probably because we knew we had a 2 liter bottle of root beer sitting at home. I had just bought it that week at the grocery store for 77 cents. After the kids were in bed we each had a glass or two of nice cold root beer. So we got some nasty sugar in our bodies anyway.

Were you tempted to try any of that? Sure sounds like a fun family outing. Glad Hannah slept through most of it this year!
