Have Your Dentist On Speed Dial

Saturday at the library where I work we made gingerbread houses out of graham crackers.

I have done this every year for the past ten years.

I have 2 classes of 30 children each.  And their parents.

It's so much fun.  It truly is!

I had leftover candy and crackers.

I made 3 at home to give away to friends.

Here's the basic structure.

The icing is simple.

It's powdered sugar

powdered egg whites

and a little bit of water.

Mix until it resembles spackling

or toothpaste.

Add the roof.

Let the whole thing dry.

The longer you can let it set, the better.

Candy, candy, candy!

Red gumdrops!

These are great for pulling out your fillings.

I should know.

Muffin tins make great candy holders.

Hopefully, yours are nicer than mine.

 This one looks like it's seen better days.

Teddy grahams are a nice addition.

Especially since I couldn't find

gingerbread men cookies

this year.

Marshmallows make a nice snow covered roof.

I subscribe to the "more is more" theory.
I covered cardboard with foil giftwrap.

I pooled the frosting around the house

to keep it from sliding off.

And - it's completely edible.

Graham crackers.
