Saturday Scrapbook: Homemade Pretzels

Don't get excited, I'm not going to give you some great tip on how to get your scrapbooks to be fabulous and complete in one day or less. 

By the way, if anyone knows a tip for how to do that, please let me know. 

No, for Saturday Scrapbook I thought I'd just share something that was going on around my house during the week, and it could fit into a number of different categories.  Basically, I'm telling you Saturday's going to be a surprise every week.

My darling love is amazing; he does laundry and dishes and cleans a lot.  He treats me well, takes care of me, works hard, loves his children and mine.  He can cook some things on his own and if I leave him directions about how to cook a specific food he does a perfect job.  He's pretty fabulous and I love him very much.

With that said, I've never really seen his as him as a "natural" in the kitchen, chef-ing it up.  Sorry, dear.  I am getting to a point.

He's recently been interested in making homemade pretzels.  Honestly, when he brought this up, I looked at him like he was a nut!  However, after a few tries he has figured it out.  Here's the link for the recipe that worked for us:  Homemade Pretzels at Food.com.  We did change it to include slightly less water in the mix, reducing it by 2 tablespoons or so, and the dough was perfect.  Here are my photo documentations of the perfect dough day.  (A photographer, I am not, but you get the idea, right?)



Ta Da!
