Summers in Rochester is the best time to be around because that means it's festival season! Every couple of weeks another festival rolls around bringing copious amounts of - you guessed it! - festival food! Now I know summer is swimsuit season and it does get pretty hot which makes my appetite go away a little because who wants to eat some much food when its hot and sweaty out. Eh.

But this is the first festival of the year and my favorite - The lilac festival. I've been going to this festival almost every year since I can remember and growing up my mom's favorite snack to get us was the kettle cooked popcorn. These bags were huge and the salty/sweet combo of freshly made kettle corn in a giant kettle right in front of you was the best thing of the summer. However, starting in high school I started this deal of getting deep fried oreos with my friends instead. It stuck.

So, of course this year I had to get it again - my first trip in. I happened to go with this guy who had never had them before so believe me - I was on a mission. He was a good sport about it too and even bought them for me (score!).

It was at least 85 degrees, super sunny, and a little gross but it didn't matter. I still waited in line in the sun for 10ish minutes for these guys. And they were worth it. Soft and sweet on the inside and the great funnel cake kinda dough on the outside. Just one bite and you're covered in powdered sugar but it doesn't even matter because you're just warm and happy inside. One order is plenty to share for me, and I definitely make sure I don't get them every often because there's no way these things are good for you but that's okay too because sometimes you just need a bite of happiness.

I can eat healthy tomorrow.
