What we did last weekend! {Sandwich Fair 2010}

I know you're all looking for something free today. (It's usually Freebie Monday's here on the Clickable blog) but we are swamped and doing things a little differently this week. I'm going to be catching up on blogs about what is going on in the Callina household.

THE SANDWICH FAIR

As I mentioned last week, we went to the Sandwich Fair in Sandwich, NH and I had some delicious fried dough! I entered my first skillet throwing contest...(there were unflattering pix of me that I chose not to post) and the boys rode lots of scary, fast rides! Here are some pix

My fabulous mother-in-law's turn.

There I am. The only ok pic I could find that I will share with you.

Another fabulous skillet throw.

There's my son Seth as the skillet boy! He did great and kept up a positive attitude!

There's Luke - it's rare to get a pic of him lately without the "thumbs up."

That's it for scary ride pictures!

Then they both got an "earthworm" hat in preparation for winter. All in all a successful day. They needed a picture with this "magic" faucet behind them that appears to be floating in mid air.

Next post will be what we did THIS weekend!

Best,

Krysten

Tuesday Has a Recipe 10.12.10 {Fair Fried Dough with Maple Cream Topping}

The last two days we took our annual trip to New Hampshire to the Sandwich Fair. My mother-in-law lives and owns a business in North Sandwich, and we always go up at least for the day.

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the Sandwich Fair, and the first annual Skillet Throwing Contest, which my darling mother in law talked me into entering. I was able to throw the 4 pound cast iron skillet fairly straight, much to my surprise and delight, and gave it a good 33 foot toss. Nothing compared to the winner's 57 foot launch, but I was happy to have not hurt anyone!

I shared some Fried Dough with cream maple glaze with my 8 year old early in the day, and it was by far, the best fried dough I ever had! Inspired by this, I am posting a recipe for fried dough you can make at home from Meeyauw's Recipes and maple cream sauce recipe that I think would work!
