But aren’t gingerbread houses made of something more like a cookie? Something that ends up pretty stiff. I guess there are two types of gingerbread, the cookies and the cakes. Actually I don’t really like either, ginger isn’t my favorite. Unless it is freshly shredded, but that goes better in Chinese food then baking.

We are having some pretty cold weather, so looks like a good baking time. And my husband is on travel for two weeks. So I think I’ll just happily do domestic things, inside. Although I will try to get outside to split and stack some firewood. As Thoreau says, it warms you twice :-)

The only time I’ll have to get out to civilization is to drop off my baked goods. Otherwise I’ll get even more potato – shaped if I eat them all!

Be careful splitting firewood. I'm impressed though.

Yes, the houses are made from cookies. And glued together and decorated with royal icing. The bundt village should be more cakelike and not made with cookie dough imo.

Sorry you don't like it. I only like ginger in a couple things (besides Oriental cooking and not too much in that). But that's another story.
