I’m feeling quite tired right now, and have decided to do nothing else tonight less than blogging/surfing and cach up on “7th Heaven” and “Judging Amy”. Need a night to chill out :o) and recharge my battery. It is a busy time for pastors here in Norway and probably a lot of other places. This week I have no less than 8 services of different kind and then there is other things to take care off as well.

I have planned the Christmascards, usually I make them my self - but I am not sure if I’ll manage to send them before it is to late this year! Hope I do though, it is not the same thing with Christmascard in January. Tomorrow I’ll be busy writing =>

Have to send some Christmas gift as well, and make some photo calendars to my nephew, niece and mother. No wonder it is little sleep in December!!

Have a nice and busy decemberday/evening!
Love
anne berit :o)



For some reason I’m not able to sleep, instead of twisting and turning in bed I will now give you the very best of receipt for gingerbread cookies there is. Tonight I had some friend over for baking gingerbread cookies together and they agreed that my receipt was good - so here it goes (I shall try to translate into English as best I can…):

dl = decilitre gr = kilogram ts = teaspoon

1,5 dl light syrup
80 gr magarine
75 gr caster sugar
1 dl VIKING milk (condensed milk, in Norway prodused by Nestle)

This you have in a pan and bring it up to a boil. Take it off the plate and let it cool down for a while.

375 gr wheat flour
2 ts ginger powder
1/4 ts black pepper powder
2 ts Natron (some speciale kind of baking powder for dough whit syrup)

Mix it all together and styr in the liquid made before.
Let the dough cool off in the fridge for at least one night.

When baked out use some wheat flour to make it less sticky, bake in owen at 180 C for about 8 minutes. Cool down; later you can decorate with icingsugar. Enjoy!
