Funnel Cake Friday

I have always been a big fan of the funnel cake. I mean, really, I'm from Ohio. Ohio is ALL about the festival... and festivals are ALL about the food. By my calculations... the best festival food is a nice, slightly undercooked, slightly over sugared funnel cake. On Friday I spent the evening with my friend Carrie (and some new friends that I made along the way!) in the funnel cake booth at the Ascension Church Festival. Here we go...

This is Carrie and I as the fun was getting started. OK, so I was already a bit greasy from standing over the frying table... but whatever... I surely wasn't as covered in batter as I ended up!!

Carrie is a master funnel cake pourer. She makes quite the lovely and tasty funnel cake. It was a learning curve for me... but she taught me well!

I always tell people that I am a special kind of lazy. Like, the kind of lazy that REALLY wants to get things DONE. This is one of the fryers I was working... BEFORE I figured out how to fit FIVE funnel cakes in at a time. Impressive, eh?

So. You can tell that what we lacked in consistency of size we made up for in Zack's excitement to COVER the place in powdered sugar. Ahhh... Funnel Cakes!

After a bit more than 5 hours frying up the goods I must admit. Funnel cakes are STILL darn good. I had to work at camp on Saturday (including lightning and hail while sitting on my platform at 30 feet. SERIOUSLY) and at church on Sunday so I didn't get to return to the festival... but I look forward to funnel cake Friday again in about a year. MMmmmmmm!
