Oh, pipe down -- I know it's not October yet. Apparently the Germans love Oktoberfest so much you're allowed to celebrate it early. Or it officially starts early. Or my party hosts couldn't read the calendar. Whatever.
It wouldn't be Oktoberfest unless we enjoyed some brats along with sauer kraut and potato salad. Did you know that it is illegal to serve any sort of green vegetable at an Oktoberfest party? Totally against the law.
You are allowed to serve wine, though. Ask me to tell you about Oktoberfest monkey wine some time. It's a scary story -- maybe for Halloween.
But as you have probably gathered, we all just really like each other, and are glad of any excuse to get together. The fabulous neighbor told a ridiculous story, and since he's from New York he is completely incapable of talking without acting out the drama . . .
. . . even with a broken thumb.
I missed the punch line, but it must have been a humdinger.

I don't think I actually have any German heritage, but we discovered an AMAZING German deli near us and have consumed untold numbers of fat grams in bratworst. So Yummy! My guess is we will be calling it Octoberfest for the entire year now!! Once again I'm with you sista:) Fun post. Holly at lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMy FIL is off-the-boat German. We dig the brats and beer.
ReplyDeleteA brat and beer sounds really good right now. I don't care if it's still September, I'm ready to celebrate! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha!! I'm laughing even though I didn't get the punchline either. The motion photography was great . . feels like I was actually there!

ReplyDeleteHey Liz! Thanks for stopping by this morning! Your blog is always a treat. You have such a great family and group of friends!
ReplyDeleteOy. My blog ... maybe fall will bring some blogging inspiration? It's gorgeous here in Tulsa! Just no enthusiasm to blog lately - life is a lot for me to handle many days.
Good Buddy is doing well. New job - 3 days a week (which is fine b/c it's 2 hours of driving for me to take him to/from work!). Life is rolling along. He bikes everywhere else so the beautiful weather is especially great for him.
Take care!
Brats and Guinness-Gaelic For Genius. We have our
ReplyDeleteOctoberfest in the middle of the month. Can't wait. Thanks Kathy
