Food on a stick

[jmc_bks]

I manned a booth in the Family Fun Pavilion in Pearlstone Park as part of Artscape from 11am - 3pm, then wandered around the party. First stop: the food court...which was set up on an asphalt parking lot with no shade. The best part of any street festival is always the food; the music comes very close second for Artscape, though. Consumed large quantities of lemonade. And ate Thai chicken on a stick. Anything eaten on a stick is good: meat, vegetables, fruit. And my new personal favorite which should be called Heart Attack on a Stick. Frozen cheesecake, dipped in chocolate . . . on a stick. Oh. My. God. Must observe a moment of silence in memory of its deliciousness.

:sigh: Now that the divinity on a stick has been properly appreciated, back to our irregularly scheduled program. Window shopped at the artists' booths. Really liked some of the pottery, but it was a little spendy and I didn't want to carry it around all afternoon. Do I need a serving platter that will just gather dust in whatever sliver of cabinet space I find to store it? No. There was another potter from Georgia that had work in a gorgeous red glaze. Metal work, jewelry, woodwork, glasswork, paintings, photographs, handmade clothing.

The people watching was fabulous. The clothing choices. The hair. The people themselves.

Our new carnival food discovery this year was a...what the hell was it called??? I can't remember but it was two flat cornbread cakes with mozarella cheese grilled in between. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it because I'm not much for cornbread but it was actually pretty good. I wish I could remember the name. Crap.

Mmmm. Cornbread. Hadn't thought of eating it with mozarella, but that would be good. Hmm. Maybe I need to go to the Chop House for lunch -- their cornbread is excellent.
