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.

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

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...
