But you know, I have too many food thoughts not to write them down somewhere. It's not so important that anyone reads them (tho it would be nice), I just have to get them out. So fuck the pictures, text is just fine, and perhaps there are better tools here now for posting pictures - tho you know I've had cool digital cameras for years, way more complicated than I can figure out. My current one is a Canon PowerShot SD1000 I bought about 3 years ago to replace one that got trashed by baggage handlers after I put it in my luggage (that's when I learned that a strong shock will waste the electronics in a camera). The new one was $100 cheaper and possibly 4 times as powerful, ain't progress a wonderful thing?
Anyhow.
Pity about the gingerbread house, I remember I had the entire text in my head, hell if I can remember what I was going to say about it now. Should have written it first, worried about the pics last. Oh! I remember part of it. He kept eating it! I told him gingerbread houses were to look at, not to eat. He didn't listen as aghast, I watched the house get nibbled away.. Oh well.

One might say I'm a consummate cook; juggling multiple dishes for hours doesn't phase me in the least. Yet when it comes to creativity, I honestly think I got shorted.
Therefore when I impulse bought a gingerbread kit at HEB, I naturally passed it off to my son. My son who even as a wee tot, effortlessly put together the most complicated legos sets in breakneck time. I wasn't surprised when it took him a mere 20 minutes to assemble it.
