Gingerbread MAN

There's a funny story here.

We had dinner here the other night with our 

Generations Bible Study group.

Sharon brought this bad boy :o)

How cute is he? 

She traditionally makes a gingerbread house each year. 

She happened upon the form for this at

Bed, Bath and Beyond and thought her grandkids might enjoy

making their own Giant Gingerbread Man. 

I think it's a great idea and the creative possibilities

are endless.

She used the recipe included with the form.

Heads up, the basic cake/cookie recipe is good.

It makes a very dense cake that is just short of a cookie.

The spices were off.

 If you try this, increase the spice amounts.

So here's the funny, 

somehow I thought I was being so witty in saying that it's too 

bad they didn't include a recipe for a Gingerbread Girl.

Sharon, absolutely straight faced, explained that they only include

the recipe for the boy but if you want to make 

it a girl you need to buy one of those box mixes. 

I thought I was gonna lose it.
