The calm before the storm

There are tulip time booths everywhere. There are some tourists. I heard dutch music playing over the loudspeakers. I even saw some tour buses. But yet, it is eerily calm. As though the whole town is waiting with their faces pressed up against their Pella storm doors, waiting. Yesterday was mow-your-lawn-day. Today is hurry-up-and-wait-day.

I personally think it is cruel and unusual punishment to have all kinds of tulip time food booths setting along the streets and not a single one of them will give me a plate filled with some conglomeration dripping with grease and goo. Granted, this is probably some guardian angel looking out for all of us and protecting us from an extra day of artery-clogging food. But I want it nonetheless. Here is my official MUST HAVE THIS YEAR list of tulip time food:

1. BBQ pork sandwich from the football stand
2. Cheesecake on a stick (the stick is pointless, but amusing)
3. Fried Twinkie (otherwise none as heartattackonastick)
4. Poofertjes (I'm sure I spelled that wrong and I just don't care)
5. corndog

There you have it. My recipe for fast weight gain in short amount of time. Rest assured other unhealthy items will be consumed which do not appear on the list. I'll try to give you my review in a few days. Brian may even have a few reviews of his own. He usually gets a brat from somewhere because I will NEVER cook brats. They gross me out. Other than that, I'm not really sure what he will select for his own tour down unhealthful food lane.

And of course, the one item we will most certainly NOT be purchasing, eating, looking at or considering is a walking taco. Y U C K Y.
