Gingerbread Memories


Last night our oldest daughter and son-in-law visited. They arrived with supplies for us each to construct a gingerbread house. Our son-in-law, who has a bottomless pit for a stomach, requested homemade caramel corn. After locating my recipe, we began popping corn, making caramel corn, mixing royal icing for the gingerbread houses, and multiple other tasks. The kitchen began to take on the appearance of Mrs. Claus' kitchen (only much messier since I am certain the elves keep her kitchen neat and tidy despite multiple projects underway).

A couple of photos of my gingerbread house appear above.

Homemade caramel corn sounds wonderful! Haven't made that in a while. I have a taste for it now you mention it, but I can't find popping corn anywhere. Is there a shortage or something? Oh sure there's plenty of the microwave stuff, but where are the bags of just popping corn? You obviously aren't having any trouble finding it.

Very well done with your gingerbread house, BTW!
