County fair season is here, and with it the desire to
deep-fry everything in sight. Luckily, one favorite fair
goody—funnel cake—is now totally doable at home:
The Carnival Funnel Cakes Kit ($18; amazon.com)
includes the batter mix, a pitcher for making the
squiggles, and a ring to keep the treat round.

Cool It
If youve had one
too many inciner-
ated hot dogs,
check out
Campfire
Cuisine
($16; Quirk
Books). Its filled
with recipes to make in the great
outdoors and also includes these
handy tips for safely loading up
a cooler.
1
Chill your cooler by filling it with
ice 30 minutes before packing.
2
Block ice lasts longer than ice
cubes. Make your own by freezing
water in one-gallon zip-top
freezer bags.
3
Freeze meat and noncarbonated
beverages and pack bags of
frozen vegetables. They’ll help your
cooler stay cold longer.
4
Put the food youll use first
on top.
Light Bright
Keep your backyard
barbecue going after dark with these cheer-
ful lanterns. They’re solar-powered: Hang
them outside during the day, and when dark-
ness falls, their LED bulbs will illuminate
automatically. ($35; uncommongoods.com)

SUMMER STOCK
When you cut the
kernels o summer
corn, don’t throw out
the stripped cobs;
make corn stock
instead. Toss six cobs
into a pot with a couple
of chopped onions,
carrots, and celery
stalks and a handful
of parsley or basil
stems. Cover with
water. Simmer
about 1 hour or
until stock tastes
pleasantly corny; strain.
It’s a great base for corn
riso o, clam chowder, and
tortilla or vegetable soup.
