Oktoberfest!

 Yes, we behaved ourselves reasonably well  .  .  .  

cider for the kids and gluten-free brew for Papa.

But, oh, boy did most of us get our fill of carbs (not "gluten boy"), from German potato salad and pretzels to mac-n-cheese.  Of course, that was balanced (ahem) with some good, Bavarian protein (sausages), vegetables (sauerkraut), and fruit (apple sauce).  Two of our Cluver Clan doused a touch of Haitian hot sauce onto their helpings.  The family dinner was complete with traditional Oktoberfest music, courtesy of Mom's classroom collection of CDs.
