next entryGingerbread Men
Tasty and easy to make!
After the events of yesterday it's rather nice to get back to my hum-drum life of sweet sanity and normality!
Luckily for me today it's a rest day from the gym and so I make the best of my time by going into town to get a few supplies. I need to get a puppy gate since I don't think its a good idea for Rupert to go upstairs unattended, which he's done a few times, the last of which resulted in him pooping up there - I've a feeling the reason for that is that he got up there but couldn't get down again and so did his business where he saw fit. I manage to get the puppy gate and then head on over to the supermarket to get some bits to make some gingerbread men. Phil had said a couple of days ago he fancied them (not in a gay sort of way but in a sweet tooth sort of way) so I thought I'd bake him a treat this afternoon.
When I get home I unpack all the shopping and then start putting up the puppy gate which in actually fact has turned out to be more of a puppy portcullis, it's huge! I get some lunch then set about making the ginger bread men. I've never made them before but the recipe was easy to follow and after an hour or so I've got 2 dozen little fella's cooling on a wire rack waiting to be decorated up. Once they've cooled of I set about icing them in the usual gingerbread man style except for one where I put a special effort in and decorate it to look like Phil, complete with blonde hair and work uniform :) hehehe - it's quite a good likeness to be honest! :)
I've also spent part of the day playing telephone tag with a lady from a local stables who is looking for some part time help which I thought would be a good way to get me out of the house again - I guess I'll just have to wait for her to return my call again.
Not much else going on really except the weather is still hot and humid leaving Rupert and myself somewhat lazy and tired. We go out for a walk again tonight and there are no major dilemmas to get over except for the fact he scoffed a bit of stale bread on the path quicker than I could get to it and extract it from his gob. He swallowed it whole the little git! Serve him right if he has the shits in the morning :)

Yay for ginger bread Phil.
