Nothing says Fall like a block of straw and bunch of pumpkins at an Octoberfest party! This is an annual celebration which our friends, Mary and Ryan, put on each October. David and Jack got to spend the afternoon with the Clark grandparents while Sherry and I got a rare opportunity to be just a couple once again. Maybe that's why I look forward to this party months in advance!This year Ryan served a German meal that his grandmother was famous for: Roasted pork, potato dumplings, saurkraut, and potato salad. They topped off the meal with German Chocolate cupcakes and pumpkin ice cream from the local Theno's Dairy. There was also at least four kinds of authentic German beer, along with plenty of American ones too. The one beer I drank, Hale's Ale Red Menace, was plenty smooth. But common sense kicked in after one and I stuck to Diet Coke for the rest of the party.
Great food, as always, plus Mary and Ryan are wonderful hosts. I'm already looking forward to next year!
