So, as I mentioned\u2026the Darling\u2019s 5th<\/sup> Annual Fry fete was Saturday. Before the competition for best fryable we all got to enjoy some fried cheese curds (Mads is now a fan of them) fried pickles, fried turkey and Sneaky Monkey \u2013 the traditional drink of the Darling Fry Fest.<\/p>\n

It was a serious competition as you had to have your entry signed in by a certain time and ballots had to be signed. Entries ranged from tacos and crab stuffed jalapenos to ice cream sandwiches. Though I missed out on some of the entries to hold Mads during her afternoon nap, I was able to grab a bite of the winning dish. There was a tie for 3rd<\/sup> place: pickle tacos and strawberries (I missed those); 2nd<\/sup> place went to lightly battered Jimmy Dean Sausage Biscuits (OMG! My mistake was asking S to half one with me. I could have easily eaten 3 or 4 of them); and 1st<\/sup> place went to a coconut-battered (I think) PB&J sandwich (Don\u2019t knock it \u2018til you try it \u2013 it was amazing!). The frying was concluded with fried twinkies \u2013 always a favorite.<\/p>\n

Sunday, we headed to BFE, also known as Fremont, for my cousin\u2019s wedding. It was a lovely ceremony in a nice shady garden. It was followed by a light reception (yummy artichoke dip).<\/p>\n

Following the ceremony and light reception, there was a Chinese banquet. I saw family and family friends I haven\u2019t seen in ages \u2013 it was nice to have all my cousins together, as we were all still at the \u201ckid\u2019s table\u201d. It was fun when we were kids, but probably even more fun now that we\u2019re adults. Mads held up well and didn\u2019t fall asleep until we left the reception at 9.30p (She was up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 7am, surprisingly.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the week before a 3-day weekend, so I expect it to be slow this week. Am looking forward to the weekend, despite not getting to sleep in anymore.<\/p>\n

(I know that I need to post more pictures, but we\u2019re having issues with the photos\u2026stay tuned!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
