kitchen Angst!

Like the running of the bulls, or the festival of the tomato in Spain! The Garlic festival here in California. We have created a lot of odd festivals over the years. Each of the big parties started small and have grown over the years. Thank god not all the celebrations that have been thought up over the years have stuck. We would never get any work done.
Oktoberfest started as a wedding party thrown by Prince Ludwig of Bavaria for his new wife Princess Therese of Saxton-Hildburghausen on October 10,1810. Prince Ludwig wanted to share this celebration of love with all the people of Munich. It was such a success they decided to have it again the following year in conjunction with an agricultural festival. It has grown ever since. Prince Ludwig did go on to be King. So the next time you tip your beer mug during the next 3 weeks, raise a toast to King Ludwig, and his lovely bride Therese. The toast should really go to the Princess, Ludwig’s love for his bride to be and his desire to have everyone know how much he loved her is the reason we now get to enjoy this celebration of beer, brats, and Giant Pretzels. You go girl!!!
Tomorrow lets hop over to Spain. Until then drink a pint for me!!
