Cheerios

I found a recipe for homemade pretzels.  When I join dearie in a few weeks, I hope to make them. There's no point me making now....no one else to give pretzels to.

He looked at the recipe I found. Now, he's on a hunt for a more authentic German recipe. The traditional one uses lye in the water to finish it off. I told him, I didn't want that...  My recipe uses baking soda in boiling water.

I  hated trucking  to Philadelphia except for the vendors that used to sell hot pretzels off a warming tray in the middle of the street. You could buy one without getting out of the truck. Those were soooo good.

I used to haul beverages out of filthydelphia but I don’t remember those. I was probably in too big of a hurry to get out of there.

I haven’t had one in ages but those Wetzels Pretzels at mall food courts are the bomb!

Lifesavers should be in there somewhere.

Spaghettios

@shootingstar my pretzel recipe uses baking soda, too. One word of support:  the steam from the boiling pot deposits a film of soda all over the stovetop and surrounding countertop. If it were lye, the results could be somewhat caustic.

I got a delivery from hole foods today, they are one of the cheaper options in NYC now.  That was a bizarre statement to type, btw.   Amazon ownership has improved them considerably.

I put down that crap on the regular as a kid!  Plain too, those cut weenies were gross.

 One too and @roadsue is right about the mess. So worth it.

Then minimally, we should use a very high soup stockpot..?
