We hosted our first annual Oktoberfest party yesterday, and it was a smashing success!
I hand rolled 60 mini pretzels, prepared two types of potato salad, and baked two dozen German chocolate cupcakes and four dozen Black Forest cherry cookies. Nick made five pounds of schnitzel, three varieties of wursts, and a pot of Goulasch.
And it wouldn’t be an Oktoberfest party without beer. We served Franziskaner, Paulaner, and Hofbräuhaus, plus our own homebrewed German Altbier.
Full details and recipes to come this week! (Along with the final three recaps of our trip.)
1. Your couches look SUPER comfy. . .
2. I am OBSESSED with all the German beer you just listed!!!
3. Can’t wait to see the post of the yummy recipes! 🙂
Sweet fancy Moses! I wish I lived closer because I totally would have crashed. Can’t wait to see more!
This made me a little teary-eyed. I wish we could have been there. We miss you! But I spied some decoration from Germany, so we contributed somehow. 🙂 And hopefully we will be there in person for number 2 to make it even more authentic.
What a cool idea for party. I look forward to seeing the recipes!
Prost! Here’s to many more annual Oktoberfests!

Certainly the most excellent of ideas! What a perfect annual tradition to share with one another, and all of your friends and family. : )
LOVE it! Glad it was a success
