Vivian was on-call on the Christmas day; I stayed home and made gingerbread man with Euterpe.
This was, maybe to your surprise, the first time I ever made this type of traditional cookie.
How did we find the experience ? It seems easier to explain by a picture:
Happy new year !
PS. Although gingerbread seems very British, it was actually brought to Europe shortly before 1000 AD by an Armenian monk, and ginger originates from South Asia. I suppose in a cold weather, adding a tiny amount of this spice to the dough gives a sensation of warmth, which explains why this bread is so well received.
