Sunshine Revival #3

For sunshine_revival challenge three: What are your favorite summer-associated foods?

This question makes me think of the fair and how much I loved going every year and eating all the fair food. I'm glad I got to go with my daughter this year and share a bit of that nostalgia with her. My favorite go-tos are corn dogs and a giant brick of curly fries like this one. I always loved the cinnamon roll booth but they weren't around this year. A new dessert truck was there, and their strawberry cinnamon roll was actually very good so I'll have to make that a new tradition.

In general, I associate summer with grilling burgers!! My sister's onion and mustard smash burgers are incredible. I also love making grilled zucchini and corn on the cob.

I haven't been able to watch much TV lately, but I saw Kpop Demon Hunters and it was so much fun! The songs are really catchy. The lore and the found family aspects are great, and I loved the animation style and costumes. Mira is my favorite character. But the conflict between Rumi and her adopted mother was so so relatable and heartbreaking. The final song is SO good, but here's a pretty spoiler-free music video to my second favorite song, Golden.

I don't think I've gone to many fairs (though I did go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival one year with my sister - lot of good food but it's so hot that you're barely hungry!) but it does feel like a very summer activity. That's great that you got to have that experience with your daughter.

Those fries do look really good and a cinnamon roll booth speaks to me lol It's a shame they weren't there, but nice that you found a substitute. :D

Oh the Gilroy Garlic festival is only like an hour from me now! It does get super hot in that area, but maybe I'll be up for it next year. I just looked it up and tix are sold out for this year :O

I love curly fries, you're speaking my language!!

Family time at the fair sounds great, it's been awhile since I've done the same c:

Heck yeah!! :)

Burgers are such great summery foods!! I love grilled veggies too - we often make skewers, but those long strips of grilled zucchini look delicious.

[impala_chick]

Skewers are always good :D The zucchini is best imo when the outside is crisped up and inside is soft.

I watched Kpop Demon Hunters recently and loved it! The found family parts really were great; I absolutely believed in the relationship between the trio.

It's so sweet that you got to share the experience of going to the fair with your daughter. Fair food makes me nostalgic for summers with my family, too.

Yay!! I need to get a Kpop Demon Hunters icon. I'm hoping there will be a bunch of kpop demon hunters costumes this year for Halloween, considering how much attention the movie has gotten lately.

I haven't given out Halloween candy the past few years, but I actually told someone I was thinking of doing it this year just to see kpop demon hunter costumes!

[impala_chick]

Yay, that would be fun :D
