Well, we're in Bemidji, Minnesota at the 4th Annual Lake Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival. I'll post more about this when I get the photos sorted out.
Came back to the hotel to work on a Rocket Mom's project because it's really, really slow there at the Dragon Boat Festival. The actual race isn't until tomorrow and today the 60+ teams are all out there practicing. Just a few people hovering around. As we understand it, this is normal and tomorrow we'll be selling smoothies by the hundreds. We'll see.
Anyway, I am not a big fan of fair food or whatever your call it. Gyros, cheese curds, and the like just do not appeal to me. Okay, they appeal to me sometimes but I'm trying to make better choices. Have been pretty darned good, lately.
So I stopped enroute back to the hotel and picked up a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer thinking it would be healthy and good for me. I got the Sesame Chicken. I love Asian food so thought that was a no-brainer.
The concept is a good one. Where they went wrong was in the actual creation of this. Waaaay too much sauce which was waaaay too sweet. A couple of chunks of chicken, a few little carrots, pea pods and mushrooms and white rice. More white rice than veggies, I might add.
It would not have been fabulous even if I hadn't stirred all of it into that syrupy sauce but it would have been BETTER.
So steer clear of Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers, my friends. If this stuff happens to be a favorite of yours, I'm sorry.
Am heading back to the festival...will probably have something unhealthy but tasty there.
NOTE: I did find a great recipe for the raspberry sauce, by the way. Will post it when I get home.

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?
Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.
Thanks for understanding.
