So tonight, Beth and I were destined to have Pretzels and watch The Day the Earth Stood Still. I’ll get to the movie in a bit. The Pretzels? Home made.
By me!
See, last weekend, we watched an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay and the show was Pretzels. When I saw how “easy” they were to make, I had to try. Today I got the ingredients, toiled in the kitchen, and VOILA!
Not bad for a first effort, huh?
They tasted pretty damn awesome, too. I need to make a good dipping sauce next time, but overall they were quite tasty. I still have to learn the proper “pretzel twisting” motion, but I’m getting there. I’m gonna take a stab at them again this week once I get some coarse Kosher salt in the house (I had no idea Kosher salt could be like regular salt too; lesson learned).
Here’s the recipe I used. I have no idea how small you’d have to make them to get 30 out of them, but as you can see, I’m not in that ball park.
Oh yeah, and as for the movie?
Utterly horrific. Preachy, boring, overdone, and Keanu Reaves is just a crap actor. I’ve never been so disappointed in a movie. It’s like it was written by Green Peace or some crap. I’m all for saving the environment, but this movies preaching was way too heavy-handed for my tastes.
1 and 1 on the evening ain’t bad, though.
Hopefully you’re enjoying your weekend!
