LJ-Idol, Week 6 - "Food Memory"

[rt_sparrow]

Christmas is coming. It brings many things, among them brightly colored decorations, baked goodies, and candy. And when these come together with a touch of magic, gingerbread houses are born

LOL. This wasn't how I expected the story to end but it IS very funny:)

Your party ideas sounds really fun:)

[rt_sparrow]

Hah! I'm glad you liked it. :) I'm curious about where you thought it was headed.

This is, fortunately or unfortunately, a completely true story. The names haven't even been changed to protect the guilty.

Thanks for reading. :)

I just..I guess to me, gingerbread houses make me think of kids. I would have never imagined making one into a crack house, LOL.

I thought maybe you were going to say that the house turned out just so amazing and beautiful, almost professional.

But I liked how your story was unexpected to me:)

[rt_sparrow]

Yeah, I guess I was hoping when I bought it that it would come out more Martha Stewart and less Hugh Hefner, but I think the funniest memories are the ones when things just don't go the way you expected them to. :) I'm glad the humor of the situation comes across. Thanks again. :)

Lol! Wow. Certainly not what I would have expected someone to do with the gingerbread house. ;)

I've never made a gingerbread house; not enough people in my family like gingerbread, so I'm always afraid no one would eat it.

Baking cookies sounds like a fun sort of party to have!

Certainly not what I would have expected someone to do with the gingerbread house.

Me, neither. I assure you. :)

Yeah, by the time they sit out as decoration, I don't think anyone actually eats them.

But a cookie making party is a blast.

Lol, it rather sounded like you hadn't expected it. ;)

Aww, all those unhealthy calories going to waste?

^_^

Very cute!

I took a cake decorating course years ago. My best production, aside from many birthday cakes, that I remember was a Christmas cake. I used a sugar cone upside down and frosted green, then decorated it like a Christmas Tree. It was set o one side on the cake and the rest was decorated like a little ice skating rink scene.

Sounds fun! Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

the majority of my guests were huddled in a circle, enthusiastically decorating a gingerbread "hoe house."

LOVE! The only way this could get any better is if next year, you added some pixie stix to the mix and cooked up a gingerbread crackhouse to go with the cathouse. Well played, an excellent use of baking supplies indeed, and def getting a vote from me.

[rt_sparrow]

Hah! Thanks for the support. :) Glad you liked it (though I suspected you would). :)

I want to be at that party! This is great - you give such a clear picture of your friends and how you all relate!

[rt_sparrow]

Thanks! You would definitely have been invited. I have a feeling you would fit in well around here. :)

I am ready to build hookers out of licorice!
