This year I was lucky enough to go back to Asheville's Grove Park Inn and their gingerbread house competition. Here are a couple of the houses for you, Joanne, I know you love them.
This one was the grand champion, displayed behind glass. The shadow is probably me taking the picture.
In the lobby was a faux gingerbread house, where they sold this Oskar Blues Ol' Snap Fireplace Ale. Among other things. Very luscious small pour, with alcohol content around 9%.
We found unoccupied rocking chairs around one of the huge fireplaces to sit and enjoy it. Lovely.
It was such a nice day, weather-wise, holding off turning colder until the next day. Wonderful afternoon. Thanks, Sarah and Winnie.
You know me so well.
ReplyDeleteI have never made one from cookies and frosting.
But the wood, paint and glue one is still really wonderful
Perhaps I should make another---Santa's Workshop.
So lovely!
