Saturday October 6
Barbara's cousins (last seen on Christmas eve, at the Feast of Seven Fishes) invited us across the border for a family celebration of Oktoberfest, as cousin Sandy was coming to town. And did we celebrate! First, they laid out an amazing variety of German beers, served with little tasting cups, so you could try each one.
In the meantime, Eric was out working the grill while Sheree put out the enormous and tasty Oktoberfest fress. There were two types of kielbasa, two types of metts and brats, and three types of mustard. There was grilled marinated pork loin, cole slaw, bean salad, egg salad, and both sour and half-sour pickles. There were FOUR types of potato salad: German, mayonnaise, sour cream, and mashed.
And finally, when we thought it was impossible to stuff anything more, there were strawberries with clotted cream for dipping; chocolate-chip cookies; and Holt's own walnut-chocolate loaf.
And people wonder why we put on weight - and happiness - when we visit Indiana!
