I'm creepy and I'm kooky and I make an excellent gingerbread!

I was going to post on the Addams Family tonight but I decided to make my gingerbread a bit earlier today and it was such a success that I just had to post about it! Even Miss 'I-Don't-Like-Gingerbread' put a serious dent into it and said that it was delicious. Normally she would find something to criticize but it was so superior and excellent that she was at a loss. And the best thing about it? Not only did I have all the ingredients at hand but it only took around 5 minutes to put all the ingredients together and with a minimum of fuss. I used my big stainless steel mixing bowl to mix everything in and used a big fork to do the mixing. A couple measuring cups and measuring spoons and one other small bowl for mixing an egg was used so clean-up took all of 5 minutes.

The only thing was the recipe called for a certain amount of spices but when I tasted the batter it wasn't spicy enough for me so I shook a goodly quantity more of ginger and cinnamon into the batter. That did the trick! Then 30 minutes to bake. The only thing was my smallest baking pan was a little too large for the quantity of batter so the gingerbread came out a bit on the thin side. That was okay, though, because I just slathered some vanilla frosting on one piece and topped it with another piece and it was then normal size--but with frosting in the middle! Yum!

So it seems as though I am pretty good at this baking business. I don't think that I will ever buy anything store bought again as long as it is something that I can make at home for a fraction of the price. And as long as I'm doing the making I know exactly what all the ingredients are.
