We kept watching to see, but no one bought one!<BR/><BR/>Jen - Yes, some of the things we just couldn't even take pictures of they were so bad!<BR/><BR/>Christina - Yeah, but people love them cookies for some reason!<BR/><BR/>Courtney - I hope to hear about your trip!<BR/><BR/>Randi - We will actually be living not that far from there!<BR/><BR/>Anna - Yeah, I wouldn't say they are that great. They are very mis-shapen as they "scoop" them into the buckets with something that you would normally use to scoop up french fries.<BR/><BR/>GD - I must have missed that, it sounds good! And yes, we did share quite a bit!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-62081991675261913792007-08-29T15:54:00.000-04:002007-08-29T15:54:00.000-04:00I didn't see the Kashi booth; I'll have to look fo...I didn't see the Kashi booth; I'll have to look for it. I did get a few samples from the Naked Juice booth; they're generous portions. <BR/><BR/>I've been to the fair twice this year, with only one repeat foodstuff, 1919 rootbeer. My favorite is the mocha on a stick, which they've amped up this year to a Double Dark Mocha Dipped in Chocolate on a Stick.<BR/><BR/>The Sweet Martha's cookies are good, especially with a glass of cold milk, but I always opt for the cone rather than the bucket. Taking the cookies home amplifies how only OK they are.<BR/><BR/>My fair food guideline is always get the smallest size, and share as widely as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-24799160088475242262007-08-28T20:50:00.000-04:002007-08-28T20:50:00.000-04:00Excuse me for sounding snobby, but the bucket look...Excuse me for sounding snobby, but the bucket looks more interesting than those chocolate chip cookies. I'm sure your cookies are much better. <BR/><BR/>Also, I would have been first in line at the Kashi booth. I love that company. I was hanging out with a girlfriend while the kids were playing. She heated up one of the new Kashi pizzas as a snack. It was excellent and had Omega 3's. I'm going to go buy a few.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-86265404256592909122007-08-28T19:18:00.000-04:002007-08-28T19:18:00.000-04:00My ex is from MN( shakopee) and I've had my share ...My ex is from MN( shakopee) and I've had my share of hot dish.

I don't think I could have finished all those either. <BR/><BR/>I like getting the giant plate of potato chips when I go.
