Sugar & Spice and everything nice


Making Gingerbread houses goes way back in our family. Typically we create our own house, often inspired from pictures we have seen in Holiday recipe books.  It usually requires majority of the day from the making of the dough, designing the structure, cooking of the dough, building the house, and finally decorating the house with enough sugar candies to satisfy anyones cravings. Over the last few years we have not kept up our Gingerbread house reputation.  This year my brother came home with his graham cracker house.  The poor roof was caving in due to the smartie roof tiles.  It was an easy problem to solve and now the graham cracker house sits on our dining room table looking rather naked.  A few side walls still remain in tack along with the Shreedie walk way.
