To be honest, I’m somewhat ignorant of the origins or tradtions of Oktoberfest besides drinking large amounts of beer and saying ‘Prost!’ with much gusto and eye contact. But I’m always up for an excuse to eat and drink with friends, and so today we went to Sherene and Jared’s place for another of their themed parties.

I had intended to bring Corica’s famous apple strudel as my contribution, but by the time I got there they had run out. We had to settle for a still very delicious (and sort of German!) black forest cake. Much sausages, sauerkraut, black forest cake and beer was consumed. As always, good friends and good times.
