Gingerbread Crackhouse
This thing looks like a Salvador Dali nightmare or something. It was our first EVER gingerbread house, so I'm actually quite happy with it. Atleast it's standing!
Ahhhh. But the Spritz. The Spritz - they are perfect!
We had a nice day in the house, looking at the trees covered in ice. We were cozy in our warm kitchen. Beautiful!

The gingerbread house looks cool. I have never had a spritz cookie. Could you e-mail me the recipe. Thanks if you can when you get a minute.
Pleeeze!...I gained a pound just looking at this post spread! 'Ah, to be Hansel'...
Your house is amazing! I've tried several times, but have never reached the assembly phase. My gingerbread either cracks or warps. :(
That gingerbread house looks swell for a first go around.
I wish I had a picture of the first one my boys made many years ago. It ended up looking like a bad version of a Vietnamese village hut. But, boy did it ever taste great.
It's a perfect little House for the Troll.
Did you see the white chocolate gingerbread White House?
Yours certainly has more character to it.
Damn, must've been a huge lot of effort in making that house, but from the looks of it the end certainly justifies the means.
Thanks for your comments on my page, Grizzly Mama! I wish more people would get pissed - as you do - about all the antiwar attacks against our fine military service personnel!
The gingerbread's hip, btw. Hope you're having a great December. Ten more days until Christmas.
Take care!

Scarves were sent out on Saturday. Just let me know when they arrive please.
Thanks Tweetey. Spritz are my favorite cookies, I have always used a cookie press for them. I bought an electric one at a flea market for 2 bucks about 8 years ago and it still works like a champ. When I was little my mom's cookie press wasn't electric - - it was a pretty good workout having to use it! I'll email the recipe to you no problemo. Thanks for sending those scarves, I'll email when I receive them!
JC - We've been picking at the house over the last couple of days. lol!
Thanks tshsmom! It really is a crappy house, but thanks for saying it's amazing!
Abouna I'm just happy it's standing - with a little (lot of!) help from that frosting that is now hard as a rock...
Mike I saw that picture. It's beautiful and then with the 2 little doggies on top. I can't even imagine having the patience to do something like that.
Awwwwww, Mr GG. You're too kind!
Donald, thank you for visiting and commenting here! I was really pissed by the time I got done reading that entry of yours. Don't remind me about how close Christmas is!! It's coming too fast!
I am about to try my hand at my first gingerbread house today or tomorrow. I am not holding my breath for a success.
Good luck Ron! I hope that you have more patience than I. By the time we got to the decorating of it, I had had enough of it.
Our first attempt at a gingerbread house was a disaster, so yours looks great.
Hansel and Gretel is one of my favorite stories; so that Gingerbread House looks outstanding to me!
