Google ain't that great at it though. It only finds 14,600 results for me - I have over 17,000 posts here alone, never mind elsewhere on the net.  | | | | | Goodness, and I'd thought until now that it was just between the few of us...

The amazingly expensive Sprungli bought ones also disappeared quickly. So, having eaten them, my daughter and partner have now spent a weekend making better - tradition.
This is the first year that they realise that they need to clean-up their own kitchen before hosting Christmas evening...

A flight I just took has credited to the wrong frequent traveller programme, even though I got it changed specifically at the airport.
Now it's going to take me weeks to get it reversed and re-credited to the correct programme.

Please please please post your recipe - rum favored gingerbread sounds all kinds of awesome! | | | | | Oks - in case anone still has the time to refill the cookie box, here are MC's ultimate gingerbreads
400g flour, 150g icing sugar, 100g melted butter, 2 large eggs, 120g liquid warm honey (i mix it with golden sirup), 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda, a capsule of rum flavor or a big shot of real one, a sachet of vanilla sugar, a sachet of 'pain d'épice' spice mix (a whole one from Manor or 3 tb sp of Coop/Migros mix). Mix it all, let it sleep in the fridge over night to roll out a cm thick dough the next day. Place on the baking paper and glaze witb egg white. Bake 7-9min at 200deg. If you have fresh ginger, grate it and add to the dough.
As you let it cool but not entirely (abstain from eating them all), get a large tupperware ready, slice an orange in it in half, put the gingerbreads in and seal. They are better the next day.
While we are the festivities - I made mulled wine drink that disappeared in a few mins too. MC's mulled wine:
A bottle of white wine, a shot of rum, a bottle of apple cider, some apple juice, 3 star-anis, 3 twigs of cinnamon, 5 cloves, brown sugar, zest and juice from one ripe orange. Warm it (70deg) for a while and take off the heat. Serve it over fresh slices of lemon and a cinnamon twig from the pot.
Happy holidays, everyone!

<<'pain d'épice' spice mix>>

(I googled it on the Migros page, did not find it  )

(I googled it on the Migros page, did not find it ) | | | | | I used the Manor sachet (ginger in it, too, and star anis) Migros has an already pre-mix jar and Coop too.
