I'm at 22 hours, sleep was tough with the crazy dreams and sweats, but it was nice to wake up without the fog & headache, and feel good and motivated. Can't wait to start another 24 here in a couple of hours. Thanks to everyone here, you motivate me 😎
Well, I am now the proud owner of an iPhone 6 due to utter and complete battery fail of my old phone while I was away. Annoying, too, because I am an avid foodie and food photographer and blogger and missed my WHOLE food adventure documentation as a result. (Yes, I was actually relying on my phone this trip- left the camera home. Never again.) At any rate, I'm home today from my most awesome trip- sober and a little bit road weary. I'm here for my 24 more!
Today is a food day near and dear to my heart, I am one of the Pennsylvania Dutch- and a lover of the pretzel. Have you made these from scratch?? What a hoot- it is a fantastic activity for kids- I've taught all the neighborhood kids by now!
Fun facts:
The first pretzel was created in 610 A.D. by a monk in southern France or northern Italy. It was originally called a ‘pretiola’ and was renamed ‘pretzel’ later when the idea migrated to Germany and Austria.
In 1861, pretzel twisting was the second highest-paying job in the Philadelphia region. Today, machines do the twisting, although at some artisan shops, tourists can still see it done the old-fashioned way.
The birthplace of the hard pretzel was Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The pretzel, or bretzel as it was called then, first came to America in 1710 with Palatine German immigrants (from the Rhineland) who settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and became known, incorrectly, as the “Pennsylvania Dutch.”
In the 18th century, German children would wear pretzel necklaces at the beginning of a new year for prosperity, health and good fortune.
In the 17th century, pretzels were known as a marriage knot. During a wedding ceremony, a couple would wish upon a pretzel, break it (like a wishbone), and eat it to signify their oneness. It is speculated that the term, “tying the knot,” originated in Switzerland in 1614 during a wedding between two prominent families.
Have a great day, all, I missed you!!
