A couple of weeks ago, I went down to Connecticut to see my "adopted" family. On the way, I always make a stop at the Charleton Plaza, in Mass. to pee. On this occasion, despite trying to be good, I got a pretzel from Auntie Anne's Pretzels. They had JUST come out of the oven. Now don't get me wrong, I love my adopted family, but that pretzel was by far the best part of the four hour drive too CT!
I talked about Auntie Anne's and how if this radio thing didn't work out, I would get a franchise just so I could eat those pretzels over and over again. That's when a kind listener let me know that they actually sell
AUNTIE ANNE'S PRETZEL KITS!
I immediately bought one and it came quick! But I read the directions and it seemed like it might take some time...and well, I just didn't have it. Until today. It was my only purpose today.
First off, let me just say that the box lies like a bastard: "Ready in 45 minutes!" My ass! The dough rises for 45 minutes alone! So, set aside a good hour and a half for this. As I struggled with the dough, and the actual making of the pretzels...I was actually thinking that driving 6 hours round trip might actually be easier!
That is until they came out of the oven. I'm not sure, but I think I heard angles sing when I pulled out the golden brown bundles of joy. I just want to say for the record...if you are a pretzel fan - GET THESE FRIGGIN' PRETZELS! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go overeat.
