The Royal

Posted by – 18/11/2009

I went to the Royal Winter Fair last Friday with my boss and my dad. It was the first time they’ve met and they got along really well. As always, my favourite part (since they didn’t have any poultry worth looking at) are the giant veggies. This beast is a 32lb beet. Imagine how much borscht that would make!

It’s scrawny compared to last year’s winner. No free toilet paper this year, but I did get 10lbs of free potatoes AND a wooden spoon. Good stuff.

    I went to sleep and woke up with “Sugar Magnolia” haunting my brainspace so decided to look up the lyrics so I could maybe get the refrain out of my head and found you there instead.
    Kick ass.

    So glad to hear that you had a great time at the RWF. I’m not surprised to hear that Dad got along with your boss so well. Megs and I had a terrific few days together – it went far too quickly. I’ve been in Austin since Monday evening and we’ve been working to get Linda’s place ready for her book club this evening. Love xoxo

    You know what I have to say, so I’ll just go on and wit for the next non-beet related entry.

    I thought you were typing with an accent.

  7. I’d be all over some borscht made with that beauty. Mmm.

    No Goat photos this year Caitlin?? I’m so sad!
