Small Town U.S.A.
I live in Tulsa, OK which isn't the biggest city in the US... it is a city but has a small town feel to it. Anyways, I heard about a festival in one of the outer suburbs called- hang on to your hats- The Bixby Corn Festival. I can't make this stuff up! But I heard that it was pretty fun so I thought I would go and have a looksey. First of all it wasn't as hillbilly as it sounded. It was a bunch of craft booths and food venders, then tonight a little carnival. Dan and I don't ride carnival rides. Well, we don't ride very many rides carnival or not, so there wasn't a point in going back.
It would have been more enjoyable if it wasn't 105 outside. This heat needs to build up a good thunderstorm, its so hot out! A good storm needs to come and cool it off. I can handle heat up to about 98 degrees, however, once we get well into the hundreds I'm hiding inside with the A/C blasting! They were handing out fans and bottled water, which was pretty nice because usually most places take advantage of heat and make you pay five dollars a bottle or some nonesense like that.
We did find a new burger joint which was featured in Southern Living. It's no Weber's but it was a very close second. The burger it's self was very tasty but I had to deduct points for the fries. Weber's has home cut french fries and these were the crinkle cut frozen kind. I love french fries and the homemade kind will always trump the frozen, if any of you reading own a hamburger joint cut the frozen crap and go back to the original!
We then wandered outside where I saw a sign for friend green tomatoes. I love some good friend green tomatoes, yeah I know, I'm country leave me alone. Can't help it, I was raised in a little bity town in Oklahoma. Good soul food is what I was raised on, but I digress.I knew that I would be eating them so I only got the baby burger at the cafe. These were horrible. I was so disappointed! They were deep fried and they served them with ranch... ew! First of all, I hate ranch and second I like mine fried in a pan preferably a cast iron pan but never deep fried!
Of course I had to add some Fried Green Tomatoes Clips! |
Love and Small Town Fun,
Stephanie
