Morning all
I have had a busy few days- Thursday was body pump night (last one of the current track list), and before I managed to make the dough for my gingerbread house, and bake the sides, and after I made the rest of the dough into little cookies (most of which I took to work).
On Friday I was stiff, and managed to fit in a 3.7 mile run after work, before the shopping was delivered. I only needed 2 layers as it was positively mild- maybe 6c! Then my parents came over for a Christmas get together as they are off too. Last weekend I made stollen loaves and had saved one for last night (the recipe said they were better if left as the flavours mingled even more), I was worried it would have gone stale or hard, but it was still moist and delicious- success 🙂 They took home the cake I made for them;
I didn’t set the alarm today, and woke up at 9.30 which is unheard of! So am letting breakfast go down before my long run. At least it is not as cold today.
Later on I am going to finish the gingerbread house- I am taking pictures as I go along this year so be warned! 🙂
Later guys!
Can’t wait to see the gingerbread house post! I’ve always wanted to make one, so maybe now I will! 🙂
Looking forward to seeing your gingerbread house! I made some gingerbread cookies today – I would love to attempt to make a house 🙂
I love gingerbread houses! I can’t wait to see yours.
Ahaha, I bet the gingerbread house is going to be mammoth! That’s exciting though. I’ve never seen one being made, and especially not from scratch. So this will be a Christmas first for me 🙂
Hey all- am in the process of the gingerbread post now 🙂
Watch this space!

Lady, weekends are all about not setting the alarm. The my inner-planner just hates it, but I’m always so refreshed after the fact.
Hey- I never normally set the alarm, but normally I wake up early anyway! 🙂
Glad your stollen lasted ok, I’ve lways been nervous to make mine in advance too!
Yeah it was fine, really would last a week I think before it got too hard 🙂
