adventures in pretzel making

i am not a chef.

and i certainly have never worked with yeast before.

but after being given several days of rain,

the littles and i decided to try our hands  at pretzel making.

seriously,

it was easy,

and time consuming,

and 

DELICIOUS.

 we followed a recipe

found here:

http://cookingoncloverlane.blogspot.com/2011/09/soft-pretzels.html

then we waited.

and waited

and watched the recycling truck

and went for a nature walk

barefoot

in the mud.

when we came back,

the yeast had working it's magic.

we made dough-snakes.

and

VIOLA!

it was a success!
(and it was lunch along with a little applesauce.)
yum.
