Guten Morgen Antoinette,
Oompah! That's right Franz und Heidi, the hills are alive with the sound of music! It's Oktoberfest! Time to break out the lederhosen, put some edelweiss in your hair, dust off the Stein, gas up the Volkswagen and head off to Munchën to enjoy a little gemütlichkeit (that's southern German hospitality to you Northerners). You gotta love a people that celebrate a month two weeks in advance! However, if you're like me, and driving an audi without an outboard mercury, you may have to celebrate from this side of the pond. Not to worry, Oktoberfest is where you find it, and what you make of it...so why not make it gluten free! Fun fact eins: a Stein can hold an entire bottle of Gewürztraminer(with enough left over for the word)...save your gluten quota for the big pretzel and be a glutton on wine...it's a festival...nobody's watching. Fun fact zwei: be sure to walk a lot at the festival because too much gluten goes straight to your gluteus and you want that to be a minimus not a maximus because you'll look like a glutton. Fun fact drei: It was glutens that drove King Ludwig II mad and broke up Brangelina! Down with glutens and up with wine! Save your relationship and keep your sanity....drink wine! Now it's time to party like Jennifer Aniston, so strike up the band, dance to your favorite polka, feast on bratwurst and schnitzel, raise your Riesling filled Stein and say a hearty Prost to King Ludwig for getting this party started.
Auf wiedersehen
