Meet the Milwaukee Pretzel Company!
They make pretzels--German pretzels!
They make them here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
You can have them shipped to you!
These are the best pretzels I've eaten outside of Germany.
When you visit one of their stands here in Milwaukee you'll likely have a chance to eat their Obatzda, which is a delicious, Bavarian cheese specialty made with camembert, butter, a splash of beer, onion, and paprika. And yes, their Obatzda is also the best Obatzda I've had outside of Bavaria.

Plus one immune booster used often in Germany.
Being sick is a drag in any language. Your throat gets scratchy, it hurts, you get all phlegmy...you feel awful, you're tired, and you miss out on work, time with your friends, your family. What a drag.
Now more than ever we've become aware of taking very good care of ourselves when we get sick. Here are a couple of German lozenges you might not have heard of that are excellent to have on hand.
You can order them from the Smallflower.com Apothecary in Chicago, which was originally founded by a German in 1875! Affiliate link
You'll also read about an immune booster that's made from a geranium that's native to South Africa. I first found out about it in Germany.
Es ist verboten to advertise medicine in Germany.
Ja, das stimmt. There are no commercials that end with creepy lists of side effects like "hair loss, loss of smell, diarrhea, or even death."

One of the hardest parts of shopping for authentic German food is actually your location. If you don't live near a city with a German supermarket or your supermarket doesn't carry international products, it can be difficult to shop for them. Plus there are no surprises when you shop for it all yourself. Why not enjoy a surprise now and then?
What if you could get a box of authentic German products shipped to your door every month and each month it's a surprise? New products, different items, and even a recipe in each box.

So ein Pech!
No Octoberfest this year. Oktoberfest would have been from September 19 to October 4.
So...we make our own!
Here are the three ingredients to make yourself a fun (and safe) Oktoberfest right at home:
Schlager. Essen. Dekorationen.
Schlager Music. Food. Decorations.
Disclosure: On this page there are normal and also so-called "affiliate links." That means that if you click that link and make a purchase, I receive a small commission for it, however your purchase information stays with the other company.
1. Schlager!
Schlager is its own genre of music. It's a mix of traditional tunes and pop music and it's really distinct. A lot of Schlager TV shows in Germany show people sitting around tables, bobbing their heads and smiling while a singer steps between the tables, lip-syncing to a song. Yep, Milli Vanilli style.
