Oh groan! I couldn't help it though; seeing all the goats and pigs and cows at this year's Royal Winter Fair got me all giddy and silly. I guess a nice thing about being a sad city girl like myself is that visiting livestock becomes a seriously fun even!
Taking the 509 down to the fairground.
Best floppy ears ever...don't they kinda look like dogs?
I think we went around nap time....
...because there sure was a lot of dozing going on!
Wheat kings and pretty things...
...and lots of cowboy hats to admire.
Hello, pretty, I like your nose ring!
This stand pretty was definitely the icing on the cake...or rather, the ice cream and gooey butterscotch on the freshly baked apple dumplings.
Spinning class.
And so the assembly line goes; freshly peeled and spun apples awaiting a generous topping of...
...mounds of dark brown sugar and cinnamon. I wish you could have been there to smell it all!
But wait, there's more!
The whole shebang gets wrapped up in squares of flaky pie dough.
Awaiting the oven.
And after, with the works: vanilla ice cream and wicked butterscotch sauce.
Oh, apple dumpling, how I love you!
It might seem impossible, but this might just be better than apple pie. I'm still all torn up about it, it's so hard to decide!
Bye moo cows, see you next year!
