Would you eat worms for $100?

Obviously I wouldn't because Victor had to find a different partner for the county fair's Fair Factor competition. Here's Victor with his last minute partner. Don't they look tough?

Stranger tried to take a vacation day for it but that loving UP Railroad who is so supportive of familes, wouldn't let him. I almost cried when I found out that Victor would still be able to compete since he had been so excited about it for weeks. The amazing thing is that after the first day of events he and his partner were in first place! They ended up tieing for second place at the end but even though the didn't win $100 and an Ipod, they were awesome and had so much (disgusting) fun. It's the kind of fun that makes Mommy have to turn her head so she doesn't (almost) puke on her toddler while she's watching.

I guess I can say puke on my own blog right? I can't decide which is less disgusting, vomit or puke or throw up. What do you think? I had a friend once who used to say barf. Excuse me? Do not ever say barf in front of me. People do not barf. Dogs barf.

This is what I'm talking about, worm potato salad and cricket cake. Don't those worms look fat and juicy? They were just the beginning of the competition. Sardine ice cream, curdled milk, rotten garbage...

And could the county fair really be any fun if you didn't get to sit in a swimming pool of poo? I guess not for some people.

So anyway, while I was watching people puke at the fair I was not home getting dinner ready for 14 people coming over that night for dinner and a book club. I'm so organized that I stopped by the store on my way home to grab the food and was just getting out of the shower as everyone was arriving at my door. Yay for me! They only had to wait an hour and a half till the food was ready to eat. It was honestly one of the most brilliant (brilliantly stupid) organizational moments of my life.

The food was great though. Especially after I burned the sauce and had to start over with it which was totally worth it because as Stranger just pointed out, not one single person even mentioned liking it. Ya, good times.
