The weather this weekend is what we've been waiting for. Everyone had an extra skip in their step. There were more smiles around town & it was just a great time to be living in Hoboken. We picked up some bourbon molasses mustard by one of my fave brands Stonewall Kitchen. The girl at checkout agreed that it looked good & asked what we were going to eat it with. I hadn't thought about it but I knew I needed it in my fridge.
After some lunch & strolling Chris & I visited the Pilsener Haus & Biergarten (aka the beer garden in Hoboken). They have the best & biggest pretzels I've ever had & seen. If I hadn't eaten lunch just before I'm certain I would have devoured one all by myself. When I got home I was still thinking about them. And then a light went off. I could eat my new mustard with some soft pretzels. So I decided to make my own for the love of my mustard of course.
I found this easy soft pretzel recipe on Williams-Sonoma's blog. The recipe calls for 7 ingredients. One of which is water so that doesn't really count. The 5 of the 6 other recipes you probably already have in your pantry if you've ever baked something or cooked in your life. The one thing that you may have to remember to buy is the active yeast - which comes in an easy little packet in the baking aisle of your grocery store, so pick up a few on your next trip.
If you don't want to make this incredibly easy dough I'm pretty certain you could use store bought pizza dough and use the same method of making them.

Behind the Scenes Shots at a Culinary Agents Event
This past Saturday I crashed Alice's Culinary Agents' event at Williams-Sonoma on 59th Street in NYC to snap some candids while upcoming faces on the culinary scene talked shop & received complimentary headshots a la Scott Bleicher.
FYI: Culinary Agents is the new kid on the social networking block with a savvy business edge. It offers a social business networking platform for those in the food & beverage industry with a focus on job matching all the way from the front of the house to the back of it. Essentially, if you love food in any way you should sign-up for an C.A. account - it's free & the possibilities are endless. Plus, you never know who you might meet - perhaps a smiling face who could just be on tonight's episode of Chopped!
