Ah, it’s that time of year again. The Rib America Festival was our first big Hoosier thing that we did last year and one of the only things I was looking forward to this year. (Pardon my archives if you do actually click the links, they were mighty hammered in the move from blogger and I never fixed them.)
We’ve been saving up for a year to do Rib Fest right, and boy howdy did we.
Our friends and I chose PIGFOOT out of Ohio to grace us with their porkyness. Cody chose some place out of Texas and some other place that wasn’t as good as what I chose so who cares what he chose.
Let’s look at our meat.
After all the goodness had been eaten and we digested while seriously rocking out to a Beatles tribute band we turned our eyes to the dessert side of the festival.
GUESS WHAT WE SAW?
Oh, the flashbacks. Now would be a good time to tell you about what happened after the fair. The fried Pepsi caused me such insurmountable gas that I nearly burned a hole through my underwear, my pants and the couch. When it finally came out, well, let’s just say there was sweat involved. I didn’t poop again for four days.
Damn you fried Pepsi, DAMN YOU!
Needless to say one bite of funnel cake brought back bubble gut memories and instant nausea.
One bite is where my funnel cake chaser and Rib America 2007 ended.

Oh my stars—I can’t believe you actually ate the fried Pepsi!!
I’m happy to report that the only fried things at our county fair—were things that are normal to be fried—like chicken strips, and yes, funnel cake.
Sorry PETA, we petted the pigs and then the next morning had bacon with breakfast. I know my kids will be vegetarians when they’re preteens though. You can just TELL.
