Oooh, fried dough, please! And some cotton candy, and caramel corn and - good thing food here at Thursdays has no calories!

We went to the Broome County fair last month and we had the yummiest, greasiest cheese fries and LH says if we're going to rot out our teeth how's about some caramel apples and we could have a blooming onion too. Don't for get the corn dogs. Fred and I went to a race once and had deep fried oreos and deep fried twinkies.

What about some Fried Butter. We were at the Iowa State Fair but never did find out where the Fried Butter stand was? Sarah Palin must of eaten all of it while she was there.

Oh yeah - fried dough - steaming hot with butter and sugar. Haven't had that in years. And funnel cakes, popcorn dripping with real better, candy apples, greasy fries - all so yummy and good for you too!

And how the heck do you fry butter?????

How do you deep fry butter?

Take frozen butter, dip it in batter, and deep fry it for a few seconds, just long enough to crisp the batter.

A whole stick of butter on a stick is dipped in a cinnamon honey batter & deep fried for 3 minutes & coated in a sugary glaze for $4. Some say it tastes like cinnamon rolls or french toast.

It was the 100th Anniversary of the Iowa State Fairs life size butter cow sculpture & a tribute to Norma Lyon who sculpted the cow every year for over 60 years. She passed away last month.

Did you know, Bonny, that deep-fried butter is a Texas invention?
