The OC Fair

One of the best parts of summer: the OC Fair! Fun, food, and friends. It's pretty easy to navigate through the fair with food allergies; the food is very straight forward. BBQed, frozen, or deep fried. Nothing fancy, but oh so good! My only real problem with food at the fair is eating far too much, and far too much junk. You think fair, and the concept of restraint just flies out the window. What exactly do we eat? Corn dogs, bratwursts, giant turkey legs, deep fried potatoes, chocolate covered bacon, deep fried oreos, BBQ corn, ice cream, and often many sodas and even beer or margaritas. No allergy symptoms, but lots of heartburn and upset stomachs. And you know what? I'm going again next week! I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. But when you have to watch your diet all year long and battle with your own health, a summer fair is a welcome punishment. :)
