4th of July Birthweekend (continued)

Saturday we went to the Taste of Chicago. I had discovered after a couple of Tastes of Ann Arbor and Detroit, that Tastes were a waste of money. They make you think that you've got "pretend money" and that everything is cheap, but really, it's an expensive event and everything is fried. Everything. But it is fun to look at all the foods, and to be out in the sun with your friends. I have to admit, though, that my treats were pretty tasty. The funny part was that Nadder and I (we discovered this weekend that we always end up together no matter what) ended up sharing 2 sets of tickets and carefully planned out the remainder of our meal. Only we were 1 ticket short of getting a fancy cheesecake. We left the cheesecake stand with our plain cheesecake and met up with our friends, who had 1 ticket left. So Nadder went back with 1 ticket in hand to ask for a ladle-full of strawberries... aw... "Excuse me sir, I'm a poor lost little boy, please help me... can I have some strawberries please? I have 1 ticket."



This is also when the famed turkey leg made its appearance. Amateurs... couldn't even finish a turkey leg.


Later we had drinks at the house and went to Empire Liquors where... well, we'll leave it at that. :)
