Hmm....
So Queens Birthday holiday on Monday and well it wasn't really a very nice day here in Auckland. Hubby left on an OS trip with words of warning of localised tornadoes forecast for Auckland and I had woken up feeling well... pretty shady to say the least. Turns out (after a trip to the a/hrs dr and $110 later!!!) that I have tonsilitis. What a fabulous way to start 2 weeks without hubby.
Mr 2 loves books and every week he has a new favourite that just has to be read over and over and over and over... his other obsession is cooking shows on TV. I must admit I am a little partial myself, but Mr 2 calls them "his" shows and particularly likes the ladies... Rachel Ray, Nigella, Giada... so when he found a book amongst a pile given to us recently by friends it was obvious this would soon become the new favourite.
The book?
The Witch in the Cherry Tree by Margaret Mahy, which just happens to have a recipe for Gingerbread Witches in the back!
So one of hubby's chat's with Mr 2 before he left was that maybe he could ask Mummy to help him make some Gingerbread Witches...
How could I say no!
So yesterday when Mr 2 decided (as he often does these days) that he was not having a nap there was nothing else for it. Thankfully Mr 7 months was napping!
The evidence.
The process involved making our own witch stencil, but after cutting out a few I got lazy and made the rest into Gingerbread Cookies. The eyes were supposed to be currents but we only had sultanas on hand. Did the trick and Mr 2 was happy!
