On my long list of reasons I was excited to move back to H-Town a year ago, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo definitely ranked high. The list went something like this:
- Being close to my family.
- Never seeing another snowflake for as long as I live, SO HELP ME GOD.
- Getting to live in a space that is greater than 380 square feet.
- The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
The fried food covered, animal laden, sugar crashing event is SO MUCH FUN. The rodeo has it all: Awesome artwork from local kiddos, a massive carnival, fried butter (um, ew.), a wine garden (yes please), all sorts of animals (!!!!!!!!!!!!!), MUTTON BUSTIN' (just do yourself a favor and look it up and then be forever indebted to me), and
bacon.
wrapped.
turkey legs.
If this isn't heaven, then I don't know what is.
So without further adieu, please join me as I reminisce through photos over the rip-roaring good time I had this year with my mom at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

My people were there! Side note: I need to run not walk to wherever this restaurant actually is in Houston. |

Yeah that's a turkey leg wrapped in bacon. #dreamsdocometrue |

Put padding on kid, strap kid to sheep, and watch the magic unfold. (Also, yes I'm 28 years old and I saw Selena Gomez in concert, what.) |
I cannot wait to see what's in store for the 2015 rodeo!!
All photos were taken on my iPhone and were edited in
Pixlr and Instagram.
We're a sucker for turkey legs, but we've never had a BACON-wrapped turkey leg. Well done, Kim!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And it's better than you could ever dream of... :)
DeleteHaha so I went to the rodeo on Friday and that Polonia stand was EXACTLY what first stood out to me when we began our search for food! I ended up getting the pierogi (3 potato + cheese, 3 mushroom + kraut) and my roommate was like "Erika really. Dumplings. At the rodeo?" But whatever, they were so good. And it made me feel sliiiiightly better about eating the cookie dough-wrapped fried oreos after. I now want to find the real restaurant too!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Erika! Every year for Christmas, we have a big Polish cooking extravaganza that includes Golumpki, Kielbasa, and of course Pierogis, so you're in good company. :) I'm determined to visit their restaurant and EAT EVERYTHING.
