The concept of a cake full of deep fried batter is quite alarming to me. I enjoy thin and crispy batter on fish & chips but find it too stodgy when there is a lot of it.
This week has been great weather in the UK. Hoping for an Indian summer!

Twas a Lovely day wasn't it? Had the aircon on all day!

You would not last long on this side of the pond, my friend.

@Jenara, Yes! I fell asleep in the Sun out in the garden

@Jaded, Oh dear. I did enjoy the portion size increase when I've been on holiday, but some things just seem a step too far!

After spending the weekend playing MarioKart with my daughter and the repeated schoolings, I have come to the conclusion that I suck at just about any video game released after 1997.

But Mariokart came out in 1993.

Or are you playing one of the newer versions? (I still have my SNES version.)

Mario Kart 8 Wii U.
It's a great game. I can actually beat a few of the cups in the 50cc class. However that's as far as it goes.

There are 8 of them now? Man, I am really behind on the times.

Mario kart Wii is one of my fave games ever

I guess each and every one of you would beat me at any video game. I haven't played any since the bygone days of the Atari console and Space Invaders, Pac Man and the like. And I was so bad at it that I simply lost interest.

I actually still have my Atari 2600 from when I was a kid. It still works even!

I quit buying game consoles when computer gaming kicked off with Doom and Quake.

I probably wouldn't have bought the Wii U if not for my daughter. I might have a shot if there was some to to hook a mouse and keyboard up to it. Or better yet a flightstick.

I'm largely a PC gamer myself. My last console was a PS2, so that was two console generations ago.

Horizon got a Wii back when they came out, and I tried a couple of games on it, but for the most part I just found the controls too difficult after a lifetime of using a d-pad controller or a keyboard and mouse.

Forget the nunchuks... pro controller all the way here.

By the way, I had a blast at the local fair. I stayed away from the funnel cake and other fried foods, although I did have ice cream and cotton candy. And like...three root beers. *belch*
