The Gingerbread

 Mama : House or man?

Sara : Simple. What do you see?

Mama: House.

Sara: So?

The Gingerbread House.

When she decides on it; there's no stopping albeit hard work and gruesome fixations.

 With flour and cinnamon and a rolling pin, her deft fingers got the work going.

Small hands and fingers but she has an ambition of creating a kampung style gingerbread house.Father and daughter were arguing the whole afternoon on the dimensions and style and finally a conclusion made.

 Sara said I should take the pictures as they were good material for blogging and sharing; so I diligently did that in the name of entertainment.

 Hobbies are expensive, so she told me. She bought sweets and others to complete her mission. 

What were the sweets for?

 Ingenious.She melted them and used them as material for window panes; who would have thought of that? Very thoughtful indeed.

 Next she had a creamy mixture poured into a funnel-like tube.

What is its purpose?

 Yes, to cement the structure of her flour pieces.She glued the panels of the house with her confident fingers and make the house stand on stilts. Don't you think the stilts are cute?

 I am not too sure of the term for this sweet. But you can get them in any grocery shop. 

Trust her to think of the oddest ideas.

 She used them to make the roof looks as if it had shingles.Pretty and just right. 

So, it is true you do have to spend quite a bit on hobbies.

But she doesn't mind as long as her venture is conquered.

 At the end of the day; the picture made her day. 

She is elated at her creation; the kampung-like gingerbread house !

 She wanted to create a Malaysian ethos to her Christmas joy.

Papa made a stand for her to display it for friends to see.

Father and daughter ended the day happy and victorious.

Sara's gingerbread house.

More to come as she takes leave to create more recipes for the Christmas season.
