It’s just corn on the cob that I did a bad job putting the seasonings on. But to be honest, if I’m getting corn at a state fair…I want that corn to be so good you could eat it with just butter and a lil salt. But this corn was not that good. It didn’t really have any corn…flavor. I was clearly on the hunt for corn flavor! And I failed to really find any. The corn was also kind of undercooked. But it still provided a fun chomp factor. The mango lemonade was yummy but too sweet and not enough mango flavor. The tums did the job. And you know what, so did the corn and the lemonade. We needed some fruits and veggies at this point and both items were very refreshing.

Don't remember where it was from. My own description: Fries topped with queso, brisket, bbq sauce, and bacon. Brisket is way better than the other one. Fries are a little cold and old but doesn't matter with the toppings. Pure slop but its delicious. Queso isn't too thick and adds just a tiny little baby kick" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1e36be9f07f57a59274d61/98df23d9-a02a-456f-b0a9-c09c5b0c6fa6/IMG_8979.JPG Blog - Texas State Fair 2025 Review - Make it stand out Power Dam - Pierre Bourdelle https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/27/blog-post-04-harris-x3ahm monthly 0.5 2016-08-29 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/29/blog-post-03-harris-gtxcw monthly 0.5 2016-08-29 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/27/blog-post-05-harris-w5zh8 monthly 0.5 2016-08-29 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/27blog-post-02-harris-cpk8d monthly 0.5 2016-08-29 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/29/blog-post-06-harris-6k4xz monthly 0.5 2016-08-29 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/2016/6/29/blog-post-01-harris-8nhen monthly 0.5 2024-04-02 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/tech monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/art monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/law monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/music monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/intellectual+property monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/corporate monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/design monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/film monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/ethics monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/vc monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/blog/tag/fashion monthly 0.5 https://www.alexasmith.net/info daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://www.alexasmith.net/about daily 0.75 2026-03-23 https://www.alexasmith.net/portfolio daily 0.75 2021-04-03 https://www.alexasmith.net/resume daily 0.75 2020-06-23 https://www.alexasmith.net/home-harris daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573a04372fe131630fd25157/1469729752911-UFETSG39XPIFRSHOM0XH/hero_pattern.png Home https://www.alexasmith.net/curriculum daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://www.alexasmith.net/research daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://www.alexasmith.net/read-me-aubrey daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c827a3e4b00a63fc062eb5/1408048513663-AZ3246187QBXC0QOBHL5/Screen+Shot+2014-08-14+at+4.29.07+PM.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c827a3e4b00a63fc062eb5/1408048513798-WFB1VNWX8H1MOLSA0SIS/Screen+Shot+2014-08-14+at+4.29.54+PM.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c827a3e4b00a63fc062eb5/1408048660603-NSJ5NP55Y2WVBPYY5V9T/Screen+Shot+2014-08-14+at+4.29.33+PM.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53c827a3e4b00a63fc062eb5/1408380042186-FS425XCLY5SJHN9N6SK6/white-rose-squarespace.jpg Read Me This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
