I went to the Wisconsin State Fair and all I got was poop on my shoe

Okay, I didn't really get poop on my shoe, but if I saw that t-shirt for sale somewhere, I would totally buy it! For one fun-filled afternoon we ate fried food on a stick, drank cheap beer and people watched. And let me tell you- there were some fat pigs there! (See pictures below.) We looked for the fried beer stand but there was no such thing. Must have been a dud from last year that didn't go over too well. Also, we missed the midway completely (not sure how we managed that one!) There's always next year, I guess. But at least we didn't go home with a hot tub. Or a $500 Vitamix. Or a billy goat.

Who is taller?

Tater tots wrapped in bacon- on a stick!

I cannot-for the life of me- figure out how to flip this darn picture!

Rambutan & fresh lychees

I found these glorious, exotic fruits at the Asian mart and I just had to have them, whatever they were. I knew that this top fruit was a lychee and I was familiar with its weird, rough exterior skin and mushy, sweet insides. Many restaurants use this product in the juice or canned form but this was the first time I bought the real thing on my own. I ate half of them in one sitting...

 Then there are these fuzzy things that are called rambutan (no, they're not hairy strawberries...)

Aren't they cute in a creepy way?

Crack it open! 

The lychee pit is quite shiny and large for the size of the actual flesh of the fruit.

So I decided to try and grow a plant from it. We shall see what happens! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

 Any cool recipes or ideas for these guys that you know of?
