I was so excited to be a part of the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair this year as a judge for the Pie Contest.  I feel that no one in the world is more qualified for such a task than I.  I content that, practically, any tastes good when it is dusted with sugar and baked between two flaky, buttery pastry crusts.  Here are a few photos of the fair and pie contest.








After a long day at the fair and eating about 14 pies, one would not believe that I would be hungry for dinner.  But, it was a long hot day afterall, and the wonderful aroma of grilled onions compelled me to make a tasty grilled steak sandwich for myself for dinner.  

  

No doubt, it was not as good as it would have been from a fair food cart, but my tiny little filet grilled and sliced and smothered with melted cheese and grilled onions and peppers was not half bad either.
