    Sure, am I staying with you?

    Sure....as long as you follow my tradition in which all female guests (who are unrelated to me and over the age of 18) must maintain nekkidness at all times.

    And here I thought it was that all guests must sleep with the host. Phew, nekkidness I can handle.

    The only one I didn't see at the Minnesota State Fair was the millionaire pie, but I did have mini doughnut beer though.

    "Destination America" network has a cooking show competition dedicated strictly to State Fair-like fried foods. Food porn at it's finest! <grabs extra napkins>

    Stick it in the deep fryer, like everything else.

    The next evolution of this concept is fried lipo fat. You go in, get it sucked out, pop it in the fryer, and shove it back in your mouth.

    In.

    I always go for the Belgian waffle loaded with strawberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. Last year, I had two back-to-back. This year I'd like to experiment with some of the new stuff. And the waffle. I'm not skipping the waffle.

    Unless you're female and hot. Then we can find other accommodations for you.

    I've always wondered how they manage to fry everything. Wouldn't it get gooey?
