Summer Fairs and Festivals…No Counting
Summer fair and festival time is in full swing. I don’t know about you, but when I go to a fair or festival I don’t count my calories…
Wisconsin State Fair Cream Puff
Yes, I like cream puffs, cheese curds, baked potatoes, elephant ears, and lemonade just to name a few…but I’ll share with my family so I can taste many more favorites.
There’s fudge, maple sugar, salt water taffy, and that’s not counting any main course items. Oooh, I don’t feel so good…there’s always next year to try something else!
If you are a calorie counter…maybe you’d like to take the quiz to see
Which festival food has more calories
If you do count your calories…maybe you will be found at one place I won’t – getting your weight guessed near the big scale.

How About A Big Hand
Applause is primarily the expression of approval by the act of clapping, or striking the palms of the hands together, in order to create noise; generally any expression of approval. Audiences are usually expected to applaud after a performance, such as a musical concert, speech or play. Applause should not be confused to clapping with the rhythm of a song but should have a random, sporadic matter to it.

Why He’s The “Boss” In Hoboken
It seems people love to watch shows about cake decorating, cake making, and cake bakers competing in cake contests. Do people really eat some of these cakes coated in thick, multi-colored fondant that was manipulated like play dough? It appears they do.
One of the most popular T.V. cake shows? TLC’s Cake Boss. “TLC: Family, Home, Style, Cooking” brought to you by Discovery. Is it the cakes or is it the family behind the cakes?
Not your typical cake (or cooking) show, but Carlo’s City Hall Bakery, is not a typical family run business – headed by Buddy and shared by mother, sisters and brother-in-laws (and assorted other relatives dropping in on occasion) and a clientele like no other.
“TLC: Family, Home, Style, Cooking” bought to you by Discovery.

from the New Jersey Journal/NJ.com -
As season three of the TLC reality show “Cake Boss” continues, so do the crowds that flock to the 100-year-old bakery in Hoboken.
Today the line stretched down the block, and the bakery ferried out ices (at $3 a pop) to keep the sweating crowd happy.

A Headless Snake, A Crash, and Would-Be Boots
Today at work I was going through some old, recycled files and an old piece of paper fell out. When I picked it up I I found it was a newspaper clipping of an old article hand dated 4-23-01 from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It was titled:
“Huge dead snake found in wreck” Naturally my curiosity was peaked. Huge dead snake? Slow news day in April of 2001 in Waunakee, WI or was this out of a B horror flick?
Supposedly a gentleman left a tavern somewhat early on a Saturday evening , lost control of his truck after avoiding a deer, crashed and got trapped in his truck down in an embankment. Early the next morning fire fighters cut open the top of the truck to remove the driver. He had some leg injuries. But guess what they found? A 15-foot boa constrictor “as thick as a human thigh,” that “did not have a head.” Seems the driver had purchased the snake to “have boots made from the reptile.”
It’s right out of the movie Tremors…well, sort of.
And a Google search found the article is still online HERE

Oh, To Be 17 And A Star
Then there’s the other side of Miley Cyrus.
Don’t we have enough bad girl performers? I guess she’s trying to break loose from her teen fan clubs.
