It’s Tablescape Thursday with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
Well, the fair is over. Here is the place setting that I entered.
This is how it looked after judging. Some things had been moved around, but, they were close. I asked a lady that was there about having things moved. She said that they had moved all of the settings back and didn’t always get them back the right way (sigh).
Oh well, I didn’t win best of show this year. In fact, I didn’t even get a blue ribbon. I got a red 2nd place ribbon. The comment was that the dessert fork should have been with the other forks. Actually, My etiquette books and I don’t agree, but, it was fun to enter anyway.
There were a lot of nice settings. Here are the other entries:
It was fun to see what everyone entered. What did you like the best?
Today’s Lagniappe: Corn Dogs
My favorite fair food (with lots of mustard)
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 2 (16 ounce) packages beef frankfurters
- 16 wooden skewers
In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder. Stir in eggs and milk.
Preheat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Insert wooden skewers into frankfurters. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated.
Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
