October Joys

October is a wonderful month for taking little road trips. The weather is beautiful and the long summer is now a thing of the past. A friend and I took off for Gainesville this week for a very important reason. We wanted to purchase some fried pies. smile This little restaurant on the city square has a great menu with affordable prices. But it is the fried pie display which brings the city folks to the countryside.

We sped on to Muenster, Texas to purchase cheese, bread and smoked sausage at a little grocery store loaded with food items from Germany.

Next week - the State Fair of Texas awaits me and a few friends. Foot-long corny dogs, fried salsa, fried bubble gum and funnel cakes topped with whipped cream will call out to our fat cells. I can hardly wait!
