Bratwurst & Sauerkraut

October 22, 2003

This is my third post in a row that has food in the title. I wonder if this is a sign of some sort . . .

The third Wednesday of every month, we have a departmental luncheon at work. Somebody is assigned every month to plan, cook, order, etc.

October was my month.

So, drawing on my lack of time and limited cooking skills, I decided to do Oktoberfest. Last night I marinated 15 brats in beer, bought authentic sauerkraut, German chocolate cake, and Henry Weinhard's Root Beer.

The food was good and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I'd have to give myself a pat on the back for this one. I have plenty of ideas for next year though.

Let me just say: over-night delivery of fresh strudel from the Strudel King, a 3-piece polka band, and one very bow-legged, lederhosen-wearing web designer.

Ah Scheisse!
