Our family decided we need a holiday in the middle of October.
I love the fall...the colors, the nip in the air, Halloween really just everything is great.
Chris and I talked about going to the Oktoberfest parties and love it- the food the music, the overall atmosphere- everything but the beer/alcohol. So we have created a new holiday...
Mac-toberfest.
All the fun parts of celebrating our German heritage- none of the beer.
Yesterday we had some of my siblings (who live close) over for food and fun.
I made saurbraten and gravy, and speaztle, and red cabbage, Chris fired up the grill (b/c... really... is there every a time that is not good for grilling?) and did bratwurst, and hotdogs (for the) for the little boys.
The food was really good and we all ate our fill...
then to top off the night we had toffee bars (thanks to Hen) and apple crumble (thanks to Sassy)!
I am still full!
A good time was had by all.
I think this will be a new yearly tradition!
