Oktoberfest!

After Kenneth and Melinda spent a semester in London and had an opportunity to participate in Oktoberfest in Munich, Kenneth said he wanted to make sure we had an Oktoberfest tailgate party. So we chose the Missouri game for the Oktoberfest.

One reason we had to hold this tailgate was so that Kenneth could wear his lederhosen and his purple and white shirt that he bought in Munich. Unfortunately, he forgot his shoes and had to wear his tennis shoes. Other than that, the costume was authentic.

So was the food. He found some weiswurst (a white German sausage), Leberkaese (a ham loaf), and bratwurst. I made bierocks, which are a meat-filled bread pocket brought to the US from some Germans who had settled in Russia. Ashley and Ann brought homemade German pretzels, which were scrumptious, and Ashley brought some home-brewed German beer. We also had sauerkraut, and Victoria brought some wonderful Black Forest cupcakes. Yum!

The first Oktoberfest was a resounding success. No doubt there will be another one!
