“…and overall the house looked like it’d been built by a corrupt contractor who was embezzling supplies for the Lollipop Guild.”

That is the single best line of anything I’ve read in DAYS.

I saw this kit the other day at a local tea shop and it’s supposed to be 100% fool and the finished product is 3x more amazing than the Wilton ones. Of course, it also costs more. But I thought you might like to see it.

I wrote a post a few days ago about the similarities between healthy living and building a ginger bread house.

We built one recently and I can proudly say I didn’t taste any of it. :)

From what I remember it is not wise to eat the frosting anyway, since it is made with uncooked eggs.

We built three gingerbread houses this year with our grandkids. No easy task, but we got it done. It was like Goldilocks. On the first house, the icing was too thick, the second, too thin, the third–just right. They all stayed together and now look great. We do not eat them. Just have “fun” making them. Eating the supplies is half the fun.

Merry CHRISTmas to you.

I’ve never made a gingerbread house but would hover around the kitchen eating the various house decorations while my brother tried to make a gingerbread castle (no ordinary house for him).

I hope you and the Fulda family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

MERRY MERRY!

So are you saying I should not live in a gingerbread house? That stinks, do you know what those houses are going for in this rough economy.

Never stop with a Ho-Ho, always go straight on to the Ho Ho Ho. More jolly, less caloric.

And I wish you:

Merry Christmas

Fun Festivus

Solemn Solstice

Joyous Kwanzaa

Awesome Ashura

& a Happy New Year!

Thank you for your blog — I enjoy reading about your adventures, whether they include gingerbread or not :)

Happy holidays! Never done a gingerbread house. I prefer a small slice with vanilla ice cream and carmel instead. :)
