Ahem!

Last year wasn't so hot; this year is almost too much legal fun for a
woman my age.

Chris and I had a blast! Can't wait to look at the pictures we took.

Of 20 entries, the maximum number allowed, I placed in 12. Five of
those 12 ribbons were first place winners:
Apricot Butter (to die for)
Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks (Pickled Beets) !! ROTFLMAOPMPSTC !! The
judges decided it was better than the other 35 entries.
Bread & Butter Pickles
Watermelon Pickles
Sweet & Spicy Pickle Relish (a special Gedney-sponsored contest)

I had two second place ribbons:
Peach Jam
Spiced Tomato Jam (This is a big achievement, AFAIC. Last year, there
were 62 entries in the lot‹it won second last year, too. I have nothing
to hang my head about here.)

Three white, third place, ribbons for:
Plum-m-m-m Jelly
Plum-Cherry Jelly
Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce ("Ooooh, Clarence Carter, Clarence
Carter, Clarence Carter. . . " Dang, this stuff is good!)

And two fourth place ribbons for:
Raspberry Jelly
Apricot Jam

Bupkes for Crabapple Jelly, Wild Grape Jelly, Cherry Jelly, Cherry Jam,
Raspberry Jam, Strawberry Jam, Dried Fruit Chutney, and Corn Relish (zip
for the corn relish was not a surprise; it was not my best batch)

The awesome Cherry Cream Scones I made came in third! Yeay!!

:-) Right.

OB Food: First thing we ate after arriving on the fairgrounds was the
Hotdish on a Stick. Skewered tater tots and mini meat-a-balls, battered
and fried; cream of mushroom soup in a little cup for dipping. Helluva
it is that it tastes pretty good!

County Fairs? I've never entered my own county's fair. They all have
different eligibility requirements, it seems. I've talked to people who
compete in a county's fair--but they don't live in that county. Some
allow residents of adjacent counties to compete. <shrugs> Some don't
require the competitor/exhibitor to be a resident of the county or a
resident of an adjacent county.

Fantastic score Barb - congratulations. Our state fair has yet to start.
After your multi successes I wouldn't begin to have the nerve to
enter........ Oh, now I remember, I'm too old for all that anyway. jan

Oh, heck, go for it! What have you to lose? It's fun. More fun if
you win a ribbon, but fun even if you don't. Gives you a whole
different perspective on the fair. :-)

Thanks, Kiddo! Justice? Nah - it's just a good time. Keeps me off the

If you nuked some of that in the microwave, just to melt it, you could
pour that over roasted pork loin. I bet that would be good. It would
probably be good on grilled chicken, too.

I bet it would make a yummy sloppy joe. For that matter, I bet it'd be good
with roast pork in a taco shell with some kind of mild cheese.

It's actually not bad. Left to my own devices, I would not have had it,
but I was influenced by my son. The other item the booth sells is
deep-fried banana split. I didn't ask. . . .

I compliment you, very sincerely. I think we are about the same age, but we
have chosen different paths. I am spending these liberated years hunting
down cute boys in food related jobs and pinching their butts. It's a good
thing we don't all want the same things out of life.

I am still not convinced.

(Yesterday I went to Ravenna with a friend and we shared enormous
mazzancolle grilled with vegetables with included quartered Belgian endive.
Ladies, we are missing a bet when we never cook Belgian endive. We also
shared an artichoke pizza. I do not know why pizza in Emilia Romagna has a
deep buttery underlying taste, but it does and I am a fan.)

Every time there is created a "somebody" there is at least one who hates
that. Take it from one character to another, open a bottle of wine and
toast him. He's the proof that you''re doing something right.

Thanks! I found out yesterday afternoon that for the third time I will
receive the Fair's award and Olympic-style medallion for being the
champion canner. The title is hokey Fair fun, Prestigious Processor of
the Pantry, and the medallion has a jar of jam on the front. (Check my
FB profile pic.) LOL! The State Fair is all about fun. No one else
has received the award three times. Cool, huh?
