The big flop

 Some projects are condemned to disaster. A couple of days ago I started to build my very first pepperkakehus. I bought the materials at the store and I was ready to let my imagination fly and make a nice and cute Christmas house out of ginger cookies. In my head, the house was going to look a less perfect version of the house on your left.

Instead....





Well, THIS came out:



This is the ugliest pepperkakehus I have ever seen. And I've seen pepperkakehus built by children! Here's what I think the problems were:

1) My frosting was dry and it hardly came out of the tube. That's why there is no proper line of pink frosting.
2) The icing sugar is everywhere! The candy barely sticks to the house and let's not mention the fact that the pieces of ginger cookie came pretty damaged out of the box in the first place.
3) (And probably the most important reason) I have no bloody idea of how to make a pepperkakehus! I thought it would be easy peasy but it seems to me you've ought to have a PhD in architecture to build this shit.

In the end I gave up finishing the other side of the roof because my hands hurt after squeezing hard the frosting tube. Now I will just have it on the kitchen bench until after Christmas when it is socially accepted to throw this crap to the garbage and never speak about it again.




God Jul!

Gift "controversy"

Just last night's anecdote. We were openening some gifts Diana had brought to all of us from Colombia. I got this beautiful candle from Doribeth: 


A lovely pink clutch from United Colors of Benetton from Diana:


These beautiful silver earrings with an emerald in the middle:


And three nail polishers. Notice that each of them has a name: serena (calm), franca (honest) and picada (can mean 'rotten').

 Doribeth also got three nail polishers and one of hers was named odiosa (hateful), which lead to the night's anecdote that went more or less like this:

In the end we just laughed because it was funny!!! Nice nail polisher's names! Hehe.

Welcome back Diana

Diana came back from Colombia on wednesday and what better way to welcome her back than with a party? So we invited everyone at our place saturday night and served homemade pizza and snacks.











Welcome!!!

A very alright day

Hi again! Today we've been doing Christmas shopping at the mall. There's a lot of presents to buy and, although we had bought a lot of them already, we're not done yet. We went to City Lade and then ate a pizza at Dolly Dimples. Now I am just done writing Christmas cards and Jonny has been wrapping up gifts.
By the way, Diana is coming back tomorrow! Tonight I had this horrible dream where I and Jonny met Frode at a shopping mall and he said that he was getting divorced from Diana because she refused to come back to Norway. I'm glad I woke up! What a nightmare..

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!



Jonny and I went Christmas shopping yesterday and we have aldready bought most of the presents! This year we won't stress out finding last-minute gifts! We also have bought ginger snaps, which are the cookies you can see above. Please don't think I like to mutilate the little men, they already come with only one leg. I hope they will soon hang the Christmas lights out in the street. That really puts me in the Christmas spirit!

I'm dreaming of a whiiite Christmaaas...
