Carnival

The carnival is coming to town
Double ferris wheel is my favorite
Corndogs and caramel apples on a stick 
Give my tastebuds a treat!

How creative and fun, when I was a kid, I used to wait all summer for the carnival to come to town in august for two weeks, and one time I got stuck on the ferris wheel, right on the top and it was a windy day... never went on one again, but liked many other rides and the food, and the sounds and the shows, great fun, thanks for taking me back in time, even if just for a moment~

Sorry I forgot to say that for the "Green Sauce" you just stirr in some horse raddish and mustard and add only salt and black pepper (ground). For the green bean soup you'll have to boil the potato cubes in about 1/2 litre chicken or vegetable broth and finally add the green beans and ham....Gert

Enjoyed this since I was a child! Great write and imagery and design!! I served my speciial potato saldad yesterday together with mustard, horseraddish and tomato salad and of course Vienna sausages. Today I had red cabbage, boild potatoes and meat balls (from minced meat) and lettuce. Tomorroe I will have boiled potatoes with "Green Sauce" (made of Yoghurt and sour cream and 8 herbs, finely minced) and hard boiled eggs. Nice is also a soup from green beans, chopped ham and potato cubes.
