Secrets of the City

I wonder if it’s the same woman in both Overheard in Mpls and Bus Tales.

The Skeptical Diner neglected to reveal the location of the Waffle on a Stick at the fair. I must have it! I must!

Has anyone tried the Elk Burger at Giggles???

Fred Thompson stopped for a footlong yesterday at a place that sells them made of all meat and spices, no filler or any of that other Oscar Meyer hot dog nonsense. The pork comes from southern Minnesota and the beef from Nebraska. Plus, their sauteed onions are the best at the fair if you like them as a topping. Fred piled them on and loved it. It’s apparently the longest-running hot dog stand at the fair.

The waffle on a stick is also called a fudge puppy and it’s in a stand that’s up against the food building. There’s a coupon for them in the Blue Ribbon Bargain book with a map to the exact location.

I had a fudge puppy for the first time this year. Holy crap, is it delicious. I disagree with the Skeptical Diner.

As someone who earns a living in part by describing foodstuffs, I have to say that I’d be more inclined to eat a “Chocolate Dipped Waffle on a Stick” than a “Fudge Puppy”.

In that case, I’ll take five fudge puppies.

I’m more likely to leave a fudge puppy behind than eat one.

I was wondering what that poop stand was.

I just noticed that there is a new Owen up on the Rake Web site. Owen Goes to Balls Cabaret.

Anyone notice how much warmer it was at the State Fair after the loss of so many trees? I took my son on Friday morning and that was the first thing I noticed was the heat. That was nothing compared to the weekend. Jason, your wife, Alyssa, was quite a trooper negotiating the Fair so close to her due date. I never was at the MN State Fair while pregnant, though I was there one week after having my son by C-Section. My parents wanted to see the Fair, but my husband rented a wheelchair for me. I have walked around the lakes close to my due date and that was no fun. Pregnant women have to pee constantly, and the walking set me off into contractions. Best of wishes to Jason, Alyssa and Seth DeRusha.

A few years ago, I remember reading about a woman who ran a marathon a couple of weeks before her due date.

That just sounds dirty.
