Here is the recipe I use every year! It‘s from the plaid red and white Betty Crocker book. I use butter or margarine rather than shortening. #wintergames #holidayrecipes #holidaybaking #ghostsofxmas @BookwormAHN
I did some baking tonight! I made my favorite Christmas cookies - Gingersnaps (though really more like gingerbread cookies because they‘re soft.😆)🎄🎅🏼 #wintergames #ghostsofxmas @BookwormAHN
I‘m current reading this charming story about young Tamsyn who is sent to live with her uncle and his big family in bustling Tudor London. It‘s just the sort of story I would‘ve loved as a child, with lots of daily and seasonal details of that time.
And it has recently been republished in a gorgeous new edition by Manderley Press. 👍
A bookstore opened in my town! Best day of 2023 hands down! A really good selection of books, diverse authors, solid sci-fi/fantasy, poetry and a lot of good romance authors mixed in with the fiction section. #shoplocal
December 22 #DevineDecember Gingerbread I am not a fan of ginger. Sonthese cooking are not my favorites. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I first learned to bake ginger snaps from my grandmother. They looked about as far from these pieces of art (thank you google) as you can imagine. Basic small rounds, no icing. But I‘d never had a ginger cookie before, and her‘s were punchy, and I just loved them! #Gingerbread #DivineDecember @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I had many beloved books growing up, like, Each Peach Pear Plumb, There‘s a Nightmare in My Closet, and Pumpkin Pumpkin. But, The Lion‘s Paw was the first book to suck me in make me really fall in love with reading!
2 🌟 I completely understand why this book is out of print. The is a mean squirrel who is just a grump. He has to learn to be a friend and a neighbor. At the very beginning of the book is a note to parents that this book was for all the good Christians who want to learn to live happily together. Ughhh. Not for me.
