~ Oktoberfest Recap

Did you see my post about Oktober First?  We did indeed celebrate.  Tonight I went over to my parents house (Gary had to work this weekend -bummer) to have our own private mini Oktoberfest celebration.  We had sauerkraut, German potato salad my dad made, pumpernickel bread, and lots of other yummies.  I brought over some nummies that I picked up from Aldi after Hannah gave me the spätzle for my dad.  It’s a supermarket that had a nice selection of German snacks and foods.  They don’t have a lot of those all year round, so if you want to stock up, do it now . . . but note, they only take cash or debit and don’t have disposable grocery bags, so bring your reusable grocery bags!

I quickly took these snapshots right before running out the door . . . I think I got everything.  We had the white asparagus and the marble marzipan cake for dinner and dessert, and some of the peanut puffs while we watched a movie.

My mom sent me this quiz, ‘Are You Über-smart About Oktoberfest?‘
I’m an “Honorary German Citizen”, 8 out of 10 correct.  -woo

~ Happy Oktober First!

The weather is starting to get crisp (though that could change any day), and when I was at the store, I saw pumpkins!  That made me smile

Fall officially started a week or so ago . . . the NC State Fair is right around the corner as well as Trick-or-treat-ers, and since my dad is German, I’m thinking of having our own private Oktoberfest, complete with sauerkraut and streusel.  I got the idea from an e-mail ad I got from World Market.  Actually, I hadn’t realized it was October til I got the e-mail -haha
