Southern Fair Entries

Okay, it is that time of year again – time for the county fair! I’ll be going out tonight to see who won all of the ribbons. Remember last year when I entered the place setting competition? Of course, why not, I won the Best of Show ribbon the year before! If you were around to see it last year, you know, I didn’t win best of show last year but still had a lot of fun.

Here is my fair entry from last year (after it had been moved around a bit):

I really like this china. It is Sterling Rose by Royal Tettau. This year, I didn’t have time to get everything together and get down to the fair to enter anything. However, as I mentioned above, I’ll get out their and take pictures of all the entries for you to see next week.

In the meantime, here are all the entries again from last year:

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.

    Wonderful placesettings! At our fair, the only tablescape competition is in our 4-H program. The 4-H’ers must bring a placesetting with them to their food judging and the top four placesettings are displayed at the fair. The most creative placesetting wins a silver tray award.

    It looks like your county really enjoys the competition! How are they displayed to keep them safe?
