The Wurst Event - Barony of Arn Hold

11/21/2015

0 Comments

 
I didn't realize until I sat down to write about this that I don't have a single photo of myself, or anything else, from this event.  It was German-themed, with some fun competitions for the fighters, a series of great classes, and a sausage-fest (yes really) courtesy of the Arn Hold Cooks' Guild.

I taught a class/make-your-own workshop on sauerkraut and salt-fermented pickles, which I expected to be kind of a flop, since so many people get that "eew yuck" reaction to sauerkraut.  That said, I filled up the class, used up all the supplies I brought (and should have brought more), gave away every handout, and generally made a giant mess helping people learn and make their first batch of kraut.  I also made the sauerkraut for the evening feast, and can report that four quarts of sauerkraut is just about right for 40 people. 

The evening finished with dancing, and I was infuriated to not be able to join in, thanks to a Morton's neuroma in my left foot.  This is what I get for deciding to try to slim down by getting back into running.  I mainly helped teach, played the music, and observed the goings-on.

In lieu of pictures, below is the documentation for my sauerkraut class.  Enjoy, and if you make your own, please let me know how it goes.   You won't be disappointed.

    I like to: play with fleece, spin, knit, weave, sew, garden, cook, eat, bake bread, dance, read, sing, and learn new things.
