Snow Days & Pretzels

Just wanted to let you know that it IS possible to make pretzels at home from SCRATCH. We had our FIFTH, (yep, count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4, FIVE), snow day of the year (and it's only January) and I finally mustered up the nerve to try that recipe from food network that had been hanging on my frig for months. For my first attempt at something with YEAST and completely from scratch, they turned out pretty good! I didn't bother with the "sauce" suggested in the recipe, just DOUSED them with melted butter just like Julia Child would have done. Next time though I'm going to coat them with cinnamon & sugar. Just need that SIXTH snow day for that! :-)
