The big Eats

 

Lauren just returned from the Big E, New England's huge fair.  

She reports eating, in the course of the day:

  • 2 48-piece mini doughnut orders (shared)
  • maple cotton candy
  • a baked potato
  • fries
  • 5 bottles of water
  • 1/2 sausage sub
  • 1/2 funnel cake
  • ice cream sandwich
  • fried dough
  • fried veggies

Oh, to be 17.

. . .

We're having a girls' movie night so we're putting in Steel Magnolias

and popping popcorn (add that to the list).

I hope your weekend is divine!

Steel Magnolias was the first movie I ever loved...(I also felt really smart that one time I watched it when I was 18 and realized that there are eggs in, like, every other scene.) =)

Um, that little girl doesn't like she eats that much in a year, let alone one afternoon!
