Ian Abel Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Ian, is there an official state fair snack food that has to be consumed? I was reading about Presidential candidates having to be seen eating the official snack food for various states earlier in the year while canvassing. At our state fair there isn't an official snack "per se", however, the place is noted for "anything/'everything on a stick", and there are this year 80 or so different types of food being served on a stick. If you can put a stick in it, seems someone decides to sell it that way at the fair, this year ONE of the new items is "Peach Glazed Pig Cheeks On-A-Stick" Here's a list to get you feeling interested/sick; Alligator Sausage on-a-stick Baby Potatoes on-a-stick Bacon (Fried) on-a-stick Bananas (chocolate covered) on-a-stick Beef Kabobs on-a-stick Bologna (deep-fried) on-a-stick Bomb Pops on-a-stick Breakfast Lollipop Butterscotch Cake on-a-stick Candy Apples on-a-stick Candy Bars (deep fried) on-a-stick Caramel Apples on-a-stick Caramel Apple Puppies on-a-stick Catfish on-a-stick Cheese on-a-stick Cheesecake (chocolate covered) on-a-stick Chicken on-a-stick Chicken Teriyaki on-a-stick Chicken Bites on-a-stick Coffee (frozen) on-a-stick Corndogs on-a-stick Cotton Candy on-a-stick Custard on-a-stick Espresso (frozen) on-a-stick Fruit (fresh) on-a-stick Fruit (fried) on-a-stick Fry Dog on-a-stick Fudge Puppies on-a-stick Gyro on-a-stick Hot ###### on-a-stick Hot Dish on-a-stick Hot Dogs (wrap) on-a-stick Jerk Chicken on-a-stick Key Lime Pie Dipped in Chocolate (frozen) on-a-stick Kufta Kabob on-a-stick Lamb (leg of) on-a-stick Macaroni & Cheese on-a-stick Marshmallows (Chocolate-dipped) on-a-stick Mashed Potatoes (deep-fried) on-a-stick Meatballs (porcupine wild rice & ground pork) on-a-stick Meatballs (Greek) on-a-stick Meatballs (Scotch) on-a-stick Meat Kabobs on-a-stick Northwoods Salad on-a-stick Nut Roll (chocolate-dipped) on-a-stick Pickles on-a-stick Pizza on-a-stick Pizza Kabob on-a-stick Poncho Dogs on-a-stick Pork Chops on-a-stick Pretzel Dog on-a-stick Pronto Pups on-a-stick Sausage on-a-stick Sausage and Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers on-a-stick Scotch Eggs on-a-stick Shrimp on-a-stick Shrimp (grilled) on-a-stick S’mores on-a-stick S’mores (deep-fried) on-a-stick Spaghetti & Meatballs on-a-stick Spudsters on-a-stick Steak on-a-stick Taffy Pops on-a-stick Tater Tots (deep-fried) on-a-stick Texas Steak Dinner on-a-stick Texas Tater Dog on-a-stick Tornado Potato on-a-stick Turkey Tenderloin (bacon-wrapped) on-a-stick Turtle Puppies on-a-stick Vegie Fries on-a-stick Vegetable Kabobs on-a-stick Waffle (Belgian) on-a-stick Walleye on-a-stick Wild Rice Corndog on-a-stick Wonder Bar (chocolate-dipped ice cream) on-a-stick Since most of it is battered/deep fried in order to get it to a "state" that a stick can be stuck in it, it's not exactly the best stuff to eat in the first place, and don't even ASK how they manage some of the items (spaghetti and meatballs!!), I don't want to KNOW, and generally avoid most of it anyway Edited August 29, 2016 by Ian Abel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning all. Note lack of 'good'. Not good. Why I am awake, let alone up and about, is known only to a higher authority than I. Not due in work until eight and I have no desire to go in early as I will still finish at the same time so no benefits there. On a positive note, I will mainly be drinking tea ( coffee?) and playing trains at Sheep Lane as the Memsahib and little person are still comatose. Its even dark outside ! A little early for food but I find myself drawn towards a bacon, eggs and tomato direction. Could get a little messy methinks.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Getting better, Rick. The coffee is going down very well. Sat in the garden. The sky is starting to lighten but a beautiful clear sky with many stars and a lovely crescent moon. Fresh and dry with a few birds chatting away and the smell of the grass drifting across. All in all not too bad after all and a pretty good introduction to the day. Rob. Edited August 30, 2016 by nhy581 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good morning one and all Today promises to be unremarkable. Later in the morning I will do the fodder run. With any luck it can be accomplished using the bus but I have not made the list yet. Other tasks may be completed. Pigs might fly. Tomorrow at 4 pm I have an appointment at the VW dealership to dispose of the present car and collect the new one. I'm pretty sure that I have left nothing of value, sentimental or otherwise, in the one being sold but one more check will not go amiss. I forgot to mention yesterday that the local rag was delivered on Sunday. This is something that should happen as a matter of routine but when the exploited child labour goes away with its parents [again] no relief delivery brat is available. One must therefore collect the paper from the town centre office on Monday morning, except on bank holidays. The flaw in this notion is that the papers come from Luton on Monday mornings via the M1, that well known cause of unreliable transit times. Legend has it that the paper may also be collected from some supermarkets on Sundays but when I tried this the day before yesterday there were none to be had. Hey ho. Like it matters. Best wishes to the ailing, recovering, supporting, grieving, missing and depressed Chris 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning All, We have a nice, bright, sunny morning in this part of the world. According to the weather forecast, it is going to be somewhat warmer than it was yesterday - but thankfully not as warm as it was over the weekend. I am just enjoying my first cup of coffee, and giving the office a thorough airing. Full English is not really my thing. However, Bacon rolls - Om nom nom! Have a good day everyone... 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning all. It looks like a decent day weather wise but I won't let that small matter affect the plans for the day. Working from home with several reports to write and a few procedural documents to update. All this obviously means that the coffee machine will get a workout today. Have a good day everyone 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning all from the village that is still north of Ikea, despite the bank holiday. Cats fed and the boss still asleep. Various tidying tasks to perform (See the layout thread shortly) then after taking various parts of the layout up to the chapel I have a good day ahead. I have to pick up No 1 son and girlfriend from Manchester Airport at tea time. I have no wish to tackle the M62/M60/M56 at 5.30pm so a plan has been made that could almost be called cunning. I'm intending to set off this morning and park up at Sale Water Park, not far from the airport but with free parking. Then I plan to spend the day riding the various new tram routes that have opened over the past year or two. Finally I'll pick the 20/30 somethings and set off back as the traffic subsides. Not a bad day. Regards to all. Jamie 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning all. Don't blame yourself Bill you cannot win them all. When being shown first aid including the then techniques for resuscitation someone asked when to stop trying to resuscitate. We were told strictly speaking you should continue until the person revives or a doctor pronounces them dead. In practice you let the professionals take over when they arrive. Fortunately I never needed to do it. When I found someone collapsed in the woods they were still breathing although unconscious. Don 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post roundhouse Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning from a sunny Surrey. Yesterday evening the parcel that dissapeared was dropped off next door so full marks to the posts who decided it wasn't a good ide to leave the parcel delivered earlier on Firday by the door. In the box was a 2nd hand Baxhamnn Norfolk Sotuehrn heritage loco with sound marked as not running so was about half price. I had the body off checked the wiring then on the test track. loco worked but sound didn't. So off with the fuel tank and one wire that had become detached from the speaker resoldering. All working now. However the downside is that the handrails are broken in a few places, possibly from wrapping in bubble wrap when packed up to post. Another freight car weathered this morning before leaving home. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hey up! Tried to catch up last night but RMWeb had disappeared... Flight home was very good. Bless Jet2 we were early home. Shame the border force were struggling with the number of people returning to LBIA.... Before we left yesterday we had breakfast watching a cruise liner Dock. The driver did a lot of left hand down and reversed polarity nto the Berth. With the Queen Elizabeth visiting Funchal at the end of the month I would love to be there to see them Berth it. Dr Eldest Herbert made tea for us last night. He was supposed to be getting a 0.5teaching position at Hull but may now need to do a .25 there and a .25 at Liverpool. Student numbers ups, teaching posts down...where do the fees go? Shopping and lots of catching up to do so TTFN Baz 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told strictly speaking you should continue until the person revives or a doctor pronounces them dead. In practice you let the professionals take over when they arrive. Fortunately I never needed to do it. When I found someone collapsed in the woods they were still breathing although unconscious. Don My first aid certificate remains current. We are trained to treat patients as patients not as friends and to keep some degree of separation no matter how closely involved we become at their times of need. Resuss should continue until which ever occurs first of: The casualty begins breathing for themselves, a medical practitioner arrives and pronounces them deceased, you are relieved by another person able to continue resuss, or you become physically exhausted. We do not "win them all". Sadly. Just being there and doing what you can is as much as anyone can ask. In other news Dodgy Roofer has been told very firmly we do not require his services. Professional Roofer has just visited and was more than willing to go up on the roof in pouring rain to investigate. Moreover he brought his own ladder! We feel much happier with Professional Roofer and will probably offer him the job subject to sighting his quote and a copy of his insurance certificate. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyram Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Morning all. Greetings, best wishes and condolences as appropriate. Yesterday proved to be a productive Bank Holiday. Sarah successfully cleared the front garden of weeds whilst I tackled the flower beds in the back garden. A decent area of new flower bed was dug out and the garden railway track extended. The original section was then weeded in the afternoon. Our brown bin is now full to bursting so I have a ready made excuse for avoiding any more gardening until it is emptied next Tuesday. Last night I ended up doing the final walk around both sides of the housing estate to collect Sarah's Avon books. It was quite a pleasant walk until I started coming out in a red, scratchy rash. It started with one lump and spread quickly across the whole of my torso and had hit my face by the time I got home. Not sure whether it was a heat rash or an allergic reaction to something but it went within an hour of being home. Plans for today are restricted by waiting in for a shed delivery and construction. Hopefully I can make serious progress with school planning. I am supposed to be catching up with a friend for a few real ales this evening. Enjoy your day!
