About Me

My photo
My friends call me the "grammar goddess." Really. ;-) I own a freelance writing, editing and tutoring business. Previously, I served three years as food editor for The Morning Sun in Mt. Pleasant, which kindled my interest in food writing. My other areas of expertise in writing include features, community news, architecture/construction and engraving/personalization. I have a frightening number of cookbooks and watch too many DIY, HGTV, Food Network, Cooking Channel and Antiques Roadshow (BBC and PBS versions) shows. And I tweak nearly every recipe I make.

It's Time for Fairs

Ah, fair and festival food: The vendors can and do try to put anything possible on a stick. Or fry it. 

Not exactly healthy. But in moderation, they can be enjoyed. And make sure to share that elephant ear with at least two other people!

Let me know if you find others, however, I've seen a few exceptions to the rule of unhealthy fair food, such as:
  • Smoothies, if you get a small size 
  • Tandoori-style chicken on a stick
  • Chicken gyros
  • Occasional dinner specials in the 4-H food tent
