italian fest/feast 2011

i've said it before, but i'll say it again...i LOVE festivals/street fairs/carnivals, whatever they're called.  if there are brightly lit rides and artery stopping food available, i'm IN!  lucky for me there's one such event a block away from my house every year.  all centered around being italian, what could be better than that?!  truth be told, it's tiny, but it gets the job done...and has the best fried dough ever.  i think the fact that they use recycling bins to coat the hundreds of dough balls in sugar must add to the flavor ;-).

just a few shots from the festivities...

Aston - looking like a very serious old man!

 Okay let me explain the two pictures above...sometimes i get bad ideas and can't stop myself.  this was one such example.  we bought coronitas for the party which are cute/kid sized bottles.  and alexander is so good at getting the guys beers that i figured i'd make him one so he could be like one of the big boys.  for the record, it's only colored water in there, the beer had been dumped and the bottle was thoroughly washed.  plus i basically had to bribe him to take these pictures, he's so good he knew he's not supposed to have 'beer' and didn't want to get in trouble!

safety last.
Bridgeport's Polish festival is next weekend...looking forward to eating some fried perogies!
