State Your Passion

Garrison Keillor Goes to the Fair is justification enough for continuing my subscription to National Geographic. A short version can be found in NG's blog pages; don't stop there - the article is worth your time, the magazine worth your money and the space it requires on your coffee table.

The article is Keillor's best work; of course. (I wonder what it's like to be consistently at your best?) It's so good I'm embarrassed to admit that I once wrote (eloquently, or so I thought at the time) about my favorite state fair.

(For the record, it's the Ohio State Fair, slated for July 29- August 9 this year.)

Now, does anyone have a recipe for deep fried chocolate corn potatoes on a stick?
