What We Ate: State Fair of Texas

Two weekends ago, my husband, some friends and I trekked out for the final weekend of the State Fair of Texas, not entirely sure what to expect but knowing we would surely indulge in some decadent food while there.

Indulge, we did. And I have pictures to prove it:
