Quote of the day: "Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…"

YAY for adventures downtown Chicago! There were so many things to look at! First at the Art Institute, they had a great exhibit for children's story book authors. The artwork for the stories was sooo beautiful, most done in graphite and acrylic. It was great. It really inspired me to actually pick up doing some art, namely, painting. It all looks quite whimsical. The 3rd photo above is of me with one of the paintings. It is a story about mussels (or oysters, it is difficult to tell) getting out of their shells and having adventures. Kind of reminded me of that Walrus and Clam story from Disney? Am I just crazy or do you know which cartoon I'm talking about? Totally youtube it. Worth it.

Anyway, that was neat. Then the taste was fabulous! Really it's like a carnival, more fun to do with friends. I mean, you end up spending a lot of money, but it is worth it to be able to try things and laugh. I have become more tan. @.@ Too much sunlight! Probably should use sun block...oh well. >.>

Anyway, my food details are pictured above! I started out with a great hibiscus sorbet (totally into hibiscus now...), followed by fiery drumettes, THEN a giNORMOUS turkey leg smothered with BBQ sauce (it totally defeated me), and topped with a rainbow waffle cone ice-cream. It was AMAZING. The ice-cream had like, 5 different flavours and real nuts in it (I liked the pistachio!). I encourage anyone who has not yet visitted Chicago for the Taste, to definitely try the next time around!

Definitely stuffed,
