Gingerbread

M’s gone to the deli on his unicycle, to buy me some fizzy mineral water. I’m all hot from baking.

Take a pile of ingredients.

Measure, mix, cut out, pop into oven. Voila!

Thank you to Kathryn and her co-pilot for the lovely gift, which arrived safely in the post yesterday – the perfect gingerbread man cutter! There it is in the picture just next to the cooling rack. See the gingerbread men? The zanier, more interesting ones were decorated by M. My favourite one is the KISS gingerbread man. I’ve got another batch to make, which I think I will leave to M to decorate.

Update, Christmas Day:

Some of the finished gingerbread men.
Top row, left to right: Batman, Mario, Harry Potter.
Bottom row: Bob the Builder, Adam, Charlie Brown.

Glad it arrived in one piece and in time for Christmas πŸ™‚

15 years ago, did you ever think you’d write…”My husband has just ridden away on his unicycle…?”

I want to see a Ziggy Stardust GB man, Madonna cone bra-d GB woman, bloated Elvis, Alice Cooper GB androgyne…more..more…

We have one too..and will probably end up with full set of the Wiggles, Bob the Builder and Harry Potter.

Hmmm … the GB men look wonderful and delicious. And M’s doing a good job of decorating them. πŸ™‚

And Kathryn, my son would definitely love a Bob the Builder GB. He even dreams of Bob when he’s sleeping.

Hey CW, that means you will have two cutters in the new year! Seems Kathryn and I had the same idea…:-) Happy Holidays

Thanks again, Kathryn. Actually, 15 years ago I didn’t even think I’d say “my husband”! πŸ˜‰

Thanks Isaak. M is much more inspired than M when it comes to decorating gingerbread!

jl, M rides his uni like it’s a bike, now. Next time you’re in Perth he will probably be able to show you his juggling while unicycling trick πŸ™‚

Aww thanks TB! That was really lovely of you! This just means I have an excuse to make more gingerbread, and soon πŸ™‚
