My Gingerbread Army

Now that I have a gingerbread army (thanks to JaneB) I think I may have to take over the world.


At least that was the plan but then the mince pies attacked and some of my gingerbread men were damaged (think I made some too thick so they're a bit squishy).


I did make lots of other Nigella goodies - all just practise runs (we ate well last night if a little oddly). It then took me an hour this morning to get the washing up done which along with the last wrapping, food buying, making stockings and making more yummy goodness to take to the inlaws there will be no time for world domination (still I'll try again next year).
I also remembered that as much as I love cooking and baking my old weakness flairs up again (same reason I can't work in a lab anymore). Not sure it'll come up properly but most of my right wrist and my fingers are inflamed (bring on the steroids!) from too much time in water, food and generally being other than perfectly dry.
I know it looks a bit pathetic and I lived with it for over 10 years but now that I'd just got used to not bleeding on everything when I moved my hands it's a pain. Still the gingerbread's damn good so probably worth it!
