Fair fare Thursday #443.

[cassiesmom]

The Wisconsin State Fair has cream puffs which are out of this world!

...sigh... and I didn't get up there this year to have one. The Wisconsin State Fair is closer to where I live than the Illinois State Fair. More fun, I think, too.

Last time we were up there they had on display beautiful stitched quilts, hand-made clothing, and knitted and crocheted items. Such lovely things. I have almost no skill in that area- I can sew on a button and quickly hem up a pants leg in a pinch, but that's it. So I love to see all of the different items people have made.

Not directly related, but Friday when I was in New York I saw an Amish market in Hell's Kitchen. How odd is that?

I wonder if it was staffed by "real" Amish, or if they were just Amish type products in the market. Can't imagine the Amish wanting to be associated with "that word"!

"Hell's Kitchen" is just the name of a neighborhood, there's no sign and gate saying "Welcome to Hell's Kitchen!"
