Fat Tuesday - Minnesota Style!

For Mardi Gras this year, we decided to celebrate Minnesota-Style...so we had Minnesota State Fair in February!

 I had saved the Sweet Martha cookie bucket from our trip this summer, and I filled it with homemade chocolate chip cookies that are very similar to Sweet Martha's.  Of course, if you have Sweet Martha's, you have to have as much milk as you can drink.  (We had a couple gallons of chocolate).  Then we had the kid's favorite pickles on a stick. 

And of course you can't have a visit to the state fair without cheese curds, so we  fried up some of that as well.  It was a good meal, but afterwards we were all grateful that we only eat like this once or twice a year...we all had tummyaches!
