FOOD IS LOVE: FULTON MARKET FEST RECAP


"I love to walk & eat"

 When people visit me in Chicago, I always like to have at least one fun activity planned out for us to enjoy. Usually, that activity revolves around food or wine. Or both. To me, it ain't nothing like walking, while eating new foods, sipping adult beverages and talking some good trash.


A couple of weeks ago, my mom came to visit and I took her the Fulton Market Harvest Fest. The weather was perfect, the people were pleasant and the food was pretty tasty!

I purchased our tickets ahead of time so it was smooth sailing when we arrived at the event. We were scanned in, given wristbands, tickets (used like money) for the booths and a couple of cool little tote bags to carry around. I love a useful souvenir! Ya'll know they charging us for bags at the grocery store these days. I'm gone keep that in my car for these Target runs.

Now, I'm not going to lie to ya'll. I was so thirsty to try to eat everything at that festival, that I forgot the names of some of the vendors (All of which can be found in the Fulton Market). AINT.BRIT.TRIPPIN. But, I hope that you can still enjoy these delicious photos. Let me know if you can smell or taste these pictures! Here's a quick run down:

 These are parmesan potato skins. No, really. They are the actual skin of the potato topped with grated parmesan cheese. Good crunchy appetizer. With, what I'm pretty sure was ranch dipping sauce on the side. Whatever, it doesn't matter, I ate it anyway.





This is not your normal chicken and waffles as you can see. Its a waffle cone, stuffed with pieces of fried chicken and some other things that I wasn't quite sure of to be honest (I think it was pork & sweet potato). By end of this snack, I was kind of confused. Did I keep eating out of curiosity? Yes I did. The folks at this booth were extremely pleasant and I really wish I could remember the name of this place.


*Caution: Next Photo May Cause Phone Licking* This, my friends is not just any old donut. Oh no. THIS IS A BOMBOLINI! Aight so boom... a hole-less donut, topped with cooked apples, and a baby bottle of caramel that says "Squeeze me!" I squeez it! I usually don't even like cooked fruit. I've been almost kicked out of my family multiple times for dipping all of the crust out of the peach cobbler and leaving the peaches. But I didn't even think twice when biting into this. You can find this and other cool things at Bombobar in the Fulton Market!


Look ya'll, the moral of the story is, call me when you need somebody to come eat with you. I ain't talking about riding with you to order some Popeyes (although that's not completely out of the question). Let's explore some food and drinks together while talking a little bit of trash.

Well, that's all the food pics I have for you today. I hope you made it through this blog post without swallowing your phone.

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...
