On snow and gingerbread
Vermont will certainly be having a white Christmas this year! We had an absurd amount of snow in the last 24 hours, well over a foot, possibly more than 2! And it's still coming down! Of course, I won't be enjoying it, as I am headed to the family in Arizona... not much chance of a blizzard there and frankly, I don't mind!
We stayed warm and cozy inside today, making a big batch of gingerbread. Yum.
We used a Martha Stewart recipe, only we couldn't bring ourselves to add a whole teaspoon of ground pepper. I am willing to believe that it is a wonderful addition, I'm just not in that place yet.
A simple powdered sugar frosting, and a few little candies added the final touch.
I also made a batch of incredibly wonderful molasses cookies from a long ago post on this favorite blog. So good. I had to freeze some so I would not "accidentally" eat them all tonight.
I hope wherever you are, the evening is treating you well. Happy Sunday, friends!

Oh yum Amanda! I love gingerbread AND molasses cookies and I love them both together!!! Glad you are having your snow before you head for Arizona...we had 26 cms. yesterday...looks great but what a heck of a lot of work cleaning it up!!
Those cookies are absolutely beautiful ... works of art! I am with you ... could not possibly have added THAT much pepper. Have a marvellous stay in Arizona.
Those are too pretty to eat!
