Today was International Pretzel Day. I found out when I went to an event that had a reception. I had heard there would be snacks. Snacks, in my mind, refer to a variety of yummy appetizers. The snacks tonight were pretzels. They were larger than my hand, soft, with sprinkled salt. The salt looked like small pieces of hail. There were three bowls of mustard–honey mustard, yellow mustard, and spicy brown mustard. The first pretzel was warm. I love fresh baked pretzels. I put dabs of spicy brown mustard on it. The pretzels looked very pretty hanging from the pretzel rack. They looked like they were doing gymnastics. They specialized in the twist. I’m sure they would have won a gold medal or two. Speaking of two, I had a couple more. They were cool. And salty. Incidentally, my favorite kind of pretzel is the Pennsylvania Dutch Pretzel. Crunchy and delicious. Tonight I ate three soft pretzels in honor of International Pretzel Day (and also because I was hungry).
Happy International Pretzel Day!!

A twist with lots of wit and spicy tang! Thanks for alerting me to notice any future Intl.
Pretzel Day. How could my printed calendar have failed to print the official event?

I love pretzels and had just discovered those big, soft, warm ones with fabulous choices of condiments. Am so glad you encountered them too! And if there’s an international day for pretzels, when is the international day for dark chocolate covered marshmallows and how about a day for mini-donuts or . . . .
