MilitaryKid loves pretzels. So I wasn’t too surprised when he asked for me to purchase the make-your-own pretzel package when we stopped at our Amish Grocery Store. I suggested though that MK make the pretzels and he agreed.

Once home he happily pulled out the bowls, gathered his supplies, turned on the oven, and read the directions. My chin was on the floor. Well, not really but I was shocked. MK still asks me to make his breakfast. And his lunch. And his snacks. Of course I make dinner, but this is a kid who really does not cook, too often. I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. Actually I was so surprised that MK was into rolling out the dough before I pulled out the camera. Here he is starting the twist.

It was HIS idea to pull out his ruler. The directions said the roll should be 32″ before twisting and that was what his were.

Next he dipped them into a baking soda water bath.

He carefully piled on the salt.

And piled it on.

Oh, they were all gone so quickly I never got any shots of the finished product. Ummmmm.
