Oh friends. It's that time again. You know the time.
NEW JERSEY SUSSEX COUNTY STATE FAIR TIME.
Also known as FAT KID WEEKEND.
Also known as, LOOK STOP JUDGING ME, IF I WANT TO EAT DEEP FRIED CANDY BARS ON A STICK THEN IT'S MY DAMN RIGHT AS AMERICAN.
Also known as, I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE ALL OF THAT, SWEET JESUS, MY FAT ROLLS OF SADNESS WILL NOT BE CONTAINED.
Ahem. That last one may have just been me on Monday morning when I looked in the mirror. Shut up.
This year we brought along Phil and Krista to partake in the carnage. More importantly, we brought my camera to document the gluttony.
We started off with our traditional first stop: Corn. Since the first year when it was just Kelly and I, corn has always been the first food of the day. We were raving about it to Krista and Phil, who I don't think quite got it until they took their first bites. This corn is AMAZING. It is the best corn on the planet. This is the corn the Native Americans gave the first settlers, who tasted it and responded "That's it. We were going to leave because we were all frostbitten and failing at life, but now that we know this place grows this delicious stuff we're staying for good. Here, have some smallpox."
It is seriously the sweetest, most fresh corn I've ever tasted. It's roasted in the husk and then dunked in a vat a butter before being served to you. I could live off of this stuff.
We moved on then to the "Church Spuds," also known as the "Baked Potatoes of the Lord." Looking at that picture, I am sure you can see that they are holy and delicious.
Kelly does her part by partaking in a caramel apple.
Mike, being a true MVP, houses a London Broil Sandwich.
Christopher decides that two corn dogs are better than one.
I pitch in with some bratwurst.
That, my friends, is a deep fried brownie. I can say with some authority that it's not as good as the deep fried Oreo or the deep fried Snickers. But it still gets the job done.
Phil tries to dominate a Chicken-in-a-Pita.
So what else can I say? It was all delicious. Every last bite. And I regret nothing!
Full list of foods:
Yes, we ate all of that. We also saw swimming pigs, crazy huge sand sculptures, a giant donkey made of straw, the most heroic and stupendous rat tail in existence, and many many ill-advised fashions.
Next year the fair is July 31 through August 9. MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

seems like one of the fellas in the group took quite a liking to the phallus shaped foods.
I'm having a major craving for sweets tonight, and that brownie is making me want to lick my screen. If I knew for certain that the NY State Fair would be such a wild spectacle of junkfood, I'd drive up to Syracuse for it next week for sure.
