Good luck with the carnival food, luvs. I stay away from that stuff that sits out all day, because it usually keeps me up all night...if you know what I mean.
i hear 'ya, joe! nothing except for drinks were on ice. most kept the food stored in water baths & 'at. i only got 2 in before i got full, thank goodness.

Thats not a salad! LOL I needa make you a salad!!
We took drive into PA. Stopped at a Long John Silver in Scranton for lunch - I just got chicken planks (sans the pups and fries) and pink lemonade LOL - go to a fish joint and get chicken. I love the chicken!! We were treated to an AMAZING show by Mother Nature in 2 states including wonderful lightning streaks of white and pink, huge hail and lots of rain! No rainbow but BEAUTIFUL sun shafts streaming through puffy clouds between deluges of rain and hail. We took refuge at a Cracker Barrel in NJ when the rain and hail got heavy. I had tomato juice w/ lemon, ice water, coffee and a small side of grits w / butter to settle my tummy. Got a chef salad to go for dinner.
I pulled out a small rolled pork roast that I tied up from pork shoulder, but decided against roasting it. Instead, I trimmed and cubed the meat, tossed it in seasoned flour, then fried it in cast iron in chicken schmaltz until the meat was cooked through and slightly caramelized. Removed the meat then added a little more schmaltz to the pan and caramelized the mire poix and diced potatoes. Tossed the meat back in and added 2 cups of chicken stock with a couple tablespoons of flour to thicken the broth. A little sea salt & fresh ground pepper to adjust the flavor, and allowed it to simmer for about 20 minutes. Cooked up some egg noodles and fresh sweet corn for a veggie, and called it dinner! It was delicious, especially the cubed pork shoulder. There, doesn't that sound better than pork stew over noodles?

sure is pretty in PA sometimes. shoulda travelled to western PA! not for any particular reason, of course~
dinner tonite- junk food. it's too warm for real food. if i took scissors to the humidity, think it would visably split in half.
Made my own sandwich-- swiss cheese, sliced tomato, and romaine on an onion bun, with ranch dressing instead of mayo.
Had some Pringles too.
I've consumed at least a gallon of iced tea today, slightly sweetened.

I thought the same thing.
I treated one Son and his GF to Buffalo Wild Wings. Ended up having/challenged to some hot inferno wings anyway.
Good stuff.

Had a hot dog, made Joe's potato salad (WOW!!) it was a hit!! 
My BIL and nephew grilled burgers and dogs, had baked beans, chips, cake and vanilla wafer banana pudding.
Watched a little of the fireworks as they started from where we were, but then came home when it started to rain and heard there were storms in the area.
It was really too hot to enjoy staying very long, but the time spent was good, with good food.

I made a pilot run of Buttery Garlic Knots that I saw on TV the other day. (http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/buttery-garlic-herb-knots-recipe/index.html) I'll be taking these to a party tomorrow evening, with a "to be determined" side dish.
Here are the knots fresh from the oven, and then plated with some homemade Sopresotta dried sausage the I made in the Winter. This turned out to be a great snack combination. Gonna have to remember to do this again.
