Gingerbread Man Disaster

[Guest guest]

Hi there-

Just had to share a laugh with you. Tried making those gingerbread cookies

in book. What a flop that was. First off, the batter was all

crumbs. I didn't know what to do to cement it together. Finally, I just

added two egg whites and it sort of held together.

I tried rolling it out and using the cookie cutter but when I went to pick

the gingerbread men up, they lost legs, arms, heads. My kids were cracking

up over that. Then I said to heck with it and just rolled little nuggets,

which my two year old (NT) yelled, " Oh Mommy! Those look like poops! "

Finally got a batch out of the oven, as the two of them were panting and

salivating. They took one bite and my daughter started crying. " No like it.

It's bad, " she said. Then I started laughing hysterically. She acted like

the cookie hurt her in some way.

My son took a bite and left the gingerbread man headless. Then my husband

came home and took a bite and went, " Whew! Those are BAD! " I said, " Oh,

don't you like ginger snaps? " He said, " Ya, I love ginger snaps. I don't

know WHAT those are. "

Anyway...there are some days that make me cry and fortunately, others, that

make me hysterical. I guess this is one of those days. This diet makes me

feel like such a failure in the kitchen but I get a good laugh out of my

mistakes.

Just felt like sharing.
