Octoberfeast

Two years ago we created our own holiday for an excuse for Andrew's immediate family to all get together, catch up, and eat all day (total of 9 kids plus 2 parents plus 3 wives= 14 ppl in immediate family). Octoberfeast was kicked off with a breakfast of amish creme donuts & quiche, followed by a trip to Village Thrift where I spent far too much money!

I picked up some pizza dough at Wegman's because I thought it might be fun to make our own "bretzels". Rachel & Sara here hard at work rolling the dough..

The expert pretzel maker of the group here...After we rolled the dough we brushed the pretzels with egg and sprinkled with kosher salt.

Tiniest pretzel in the world.

We also made a few batches with cinnamon and sugar, my personal favorite, Auntie Anne style! The rest of the day was spent eating more German inspired foods, playing board games & relaxing into a food coma!!
