I was so happy when I heard mine Mommy say she was going to make a gingerbread house. My nose got all excited about the wonderful smells we would smell and my little sandpaper tongue was all ready for just a tiny bite or two, and I knew it would be so pretty to see! A real holiday treat! And this was quite special as mine Mommy doesn't "do kitchen" much at all. She has told me the stories of how her Daddy was a very good cook and he tried to teach her but she just didn't pay attention too much. And then her Poppy Vic, who is in heaven now, was so good in the kitchen too, and he loved it, so she always just did the "tidy up after him" all the years they were married, so now, well, she doesn't like to do that stuff! So I knew this would be special ...
Well, bah humbug, you can imagine my disappointment when her idea of making a gingerbread house was to photoshop-art it! No smell, no little bite, no taste, no nothing. She said it was just as much work and took just as much time as the real thing. Bah humbug. She said well, we all do our own thing, don't we, June?
I am just like your mom is June. no baking or fancy foods for me. I did learn to cook basics to feed the kids and to keep us from starving, but it was easy stuff like chili and spagetti, one pot stuff. the thing is I have never even seen a gingerbread house except in movies. mother baked and cooked but never things like a house. i have not even doen the photoshop one either..
ReplyDeleteLOL! Your mom made a fantastic gingerbread house--with no dishes to do afterward, June. BTW, the biped doesn't "do kitchen" either! :-D
ReplyDeleteJune, you may have to send your mommy to the bakery. And then she could bring one home. Then you both have a gingerbread house.
ReplyDeleteat least you still have the house. the mama made one with eal gingerbread. she made such a fuzz about this shack and we were NOT allowed to eat it... she brought it outside to cool it off faster and it became a fab berd menue....
ReplyDeleteMaybe your mum could buy some pumpkin spice and put it in a pot with water on the stove.
ReplyDeleteThen you would have that nice Christmas smell :) She can get you aome nummy treats too ;)
Purrs, Julie

Hows about a kit from the store? For the smell, get a pot on the stove with some water in it and add some spices and let it just simmer. It might work!
ReplyDeleteWell, it does look like it would sure taste good sweet June, if it were real.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was unexpected, June!
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry you didn't get any tastes...but your Mommy did a wonderful job on that Gingerbread House!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Well, that is a beautiful and cute gingerbread house, Juney. Even though it is not tasty. :)
ReplyDeleteGingerbread houses are cool. You look like Godzilla next to it
ReplyDeleteMark's Mews, anonymous again: We love the pretty house. Seems like Nip mousies might hide in there. Paw carefully June and see if there is a surprise inside...
ReplyDeleteAww, but it's soooo pretty, even photoshopped. And full of good cheer. Maybe there'll be an extra can of tuna as compensation 🤞🏼
