Dear Baby,
I understand that you like fruit, and you’ve introduced peaches, pears, and nectarines to my regular diet. I like real fruit, too, but I’ve really been enjoying your other fruit cravings:
- Candy orange slices
- Fruit Rollups
- Strawberry preserves
- Orange pineapple juice
- Popsicles
- Cherry Pop-Tarts
All of these are great ways to get my fruit servings for the day.
I was a little disappointed in you last Thursday at our local fair. Don’t get me wrong: your choice of a homemade apple dumpling topped with ice cream was deeeee-licious. Plus it counts as a fruit.
And when presented with options like deep-fried Snickers, Twinkies, Pop-Tarts, and Oreos, I understand why you passed since I’ve tasted all of those before.
However, I am a little disappointed in you for not choosing Red Velvet funnel cake with cream cheese icing. What were you thinking?
At next year’s fair, you’ll be about 6 months old. You better be up for some solid food by then. We have a reputation to uphold.
Love,
Your Mama

By the time she’s six months old, you’ll have mastered eating with one hand, so next year’s fair should be a piece of (red velvet funnel) cake.

I can’t condone any fruit based diet that lacks Gushers or limes. Please tell me one of those two is on your fruit list.

Mmmm…Gushers…. They’re on there now.

You mean there’s fruit that’s NOT in between two thin layers of pastry and frosting?

It surprised me, too!

That is really disappointing, because red velvet funnel cake? Is like heaven on a grease coated paper plate. We tried one at the 4th of July carnival and it was beyond sublime.
Next year. I promise it will totally be worth the wait.

I’m so jealous!

Fair food makes me throw my morals out the window. Give me that basket of deep fried taters!

PRC felt the same way about Hello Kitty. For a long time I had to love Hello Kitty enough for both of us. Eventually she came around. Good timing on her part because I already had four responses to the Craig’s List ad.

Red Velvet FUNNEL cake??????? I’m off the the fair, thank you very much…

I tried so very hard to try the Red Velvet Funnel Cake at the fair, as you well know. Alas, I could not find it, and my family was having none of my searching shenanigans. 😦 Next year for sure!!

Gosh, Thoughtsy, my food baby tells me I need that apple dumpling inside me ASAP. You think they deliver? 🙂

Our local street fair is in about a week and a half. I’m going to be keeping my eye out for this.
