of gingerpeople and the food processor

I'm currently trying to prove my worth at baking. And since it is nearing Christmas, decided that i just had to make some gingerbread men with cute little gumdrop buttons and chocolate chip eyes!! so ala Gingy the gingerbreadman from Shrek, don't you think?



"Do you know the muffinman??" -Gingy from Shrek 1

"Not the gumdrop button!!" - Gingy from Shrek 2



but so far, i have many batches of Gingy-lookalikes that are headless or limbless and sometimes even both.

the darn cookie dough just wouldn't stay glued to each other during the baking process!!
*&%$#@!


but I am going to make a perfect one with gumdrop buttons and choc chip eyes even if i have to finish all the flour in my house!!

it's just right on top of my list of things to do before you die.


and I promised to make a Chuck and a Chickles!!

those are the names of my yet-to-be-perfect gingerbreadman and gingerbreadwoman.


Day 1 of gingerbreadman-making is officially a failure. shall continue tomorrow.


but in the meantime, mum made this successful, perfect Apricot Crumble (and i helped made the heavenly apricot puree in the middle).

so she had the bragging rights at the dinner table today, what with my batches of gingerpeople being headless and limbless.


so she went, "In every woman's kitchen, you must have a food processor." this being said due to the fact that the apricot crumble was made using the food processor only and not even a cake mixer.


so after a while, my cheeky monkey of a brother went, "So what about a man's kitchen?" this being said due to the fact that my brother is a good cook.


and my dad went, "Well, in a man's kitchen, you need a woman AND a food processor!" with that smug look on his face.


this being said due to the fact that my dad says the darndest things and i still love him.

Your dough cant stick together cos there isnt enuff butter =) And if your dough is too oily then add flour! And Thanks for posting the non bake cheesecake recipe, I tried it and I love it =)
