Description
From my state fair of texas prize winning recipes cookbook, september 1990. I'm a simple person. I only go to the state fair to tour food hall exhibits, drink warm beer & eat funnel cake. Then i'm through. Dh, on the other hand, likes to experience life extremely from atop large whirly things. He shamed me ( had the nerve to call me chicken!) into riding the tallest ferris wheel in north america, the 212 foot texas star. After standing in line for 3 days, we boarded the monster along with his brother & wife. And off we go. Wheeeeee … After 1/4 revolution (maybe less), i hit my panic quotient. Rather than making a screaming scene, i casually slipped down to the floor of the car, curled into the fetal position & perused my newly acquired cookbook; a real feat with closed eyes. Every now & again, i might have moaned softly but i'm sure they all thought i was really into some great sounding recipe; not afraid or anything. During the 2 weeks we spent suspended at the top awaiting our turn to disembark, i was enticed by "oh, look at that view". Snakelike, i slithered up on the seat, saw las vegas & promptly swooned back to the floor where i rationally inserted sil's ankle into my mouth as a bite block just in case i went into convulsions. (it might have been downtown dallas that i saw but i'm pretty sure it was lv because i think i saw the sun glint off wayne newton's teeth.) i'm quite positive that no one was the slightest bit suspicious when, at ground level once again, i was pulled from the car & carried off fireman style. Bet he never calls me chicken again! I showed him the strong stuff i'm made of!
