They are actually pretty good.

The rain is pouring down and sometimes sideways because of the strong gusts we have right now. The dogs refuse to go outside and I so understand them. Also they think I’ll have more of the gluten free gingerbreads I baked earlier today 🙂 🙂 The ones one can buy are an abomination towards any living thing, they are actually so awful that not even Albin and Alma wanted any and those two eat any kind of garbage they can find 🙂 🙂

I found this recipe online and it is called “The best gingerbread recipe ever”. Well they are really good but I’ve had normal gingerbreads that have been slightly better. Still these are gluten free so I guess it is true for being gluten free cookies. I had to do some changes in the recipe though. It said agave syrup or maple syrup. This recipe is obviously made by a rather rich person because both those syrups cost close to what gold costs 🙂 🙂 🙂 It also said Coconut sugar? Didn’t even know that excisted so I used normal sugar instead.

They do taste really good but it is really important that they stay the exact time in the oven because bring them out a bit early they will be kind of soft and really brittle but the exact time and they’re like any other home made gingerbread. Also the original recipe said 150 cookies and that’s insanely much for a first try, so I halved the recipe and I managed to get 24 cookies. I’m not sure what size they make their cookies in but they must be really tiny 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway, I’ve tried it and can now do these again closer to christmas.

I found another walnut on the ground today but the weather wasn’t the nicest so to look up a tree to find one small green thing amongst the still green leafs made it hard to see if it was the one I’ve been looking at or if this was another one that came from elsewhere in the tree 🙂 It’ll rain a lot these coming days so I’ll check the ground for walnuts instead of looking up the tree 🙂

The House sparrows had taken a bath and were cleaning and drying themselves before the rain arrived.

The morning walk was really nice though, no wind and no rain. No sunshine either but that was to be expected. Well I almost saw the sun for half a minute when a thinner layer of clouds flew by. It looked really nice during that half minute and I guess that is what we’ll be able to see until after christmas, if we’re lucky 🙂 🙂 We might get fog though and that’s my second favorite weather but I don’t have high hopes for that either, the last time they said we would get fog what we got was what could best be called a thin haze. It is time to pack my dinners for the coming week at work. I bought some small pieces of chicken the other day, so I fried them just enough to get that fried surface, I also fried a big onion. After that I tossed it in the crockpot together with water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, potatoes and some kind of Asian cabbage, it tastes actually much better than I thought it would 🙂

Have a great day!

  1. Christer,
    We had rain all day and it will extend into tomorrow afternoon. The dogs went out in the morning then waited until the rain lessened to go out again. I’ll have to shove them out before I go to bed.

    It is cooler tonight then it has been, but it still isn’t cold. I’m just glad I don’t live in Colorado. My sister was freezing at 31 and it will be that way the next few days. She got far more snow than she expected. She said the tops of the cars have the highest piles.

    I am a fan of gingerbread. I used to make gingerbread cookies and decorate them One year I made a cookie for everyone in the family, decorated each by the sex of my family members and even put their names on the cookies. I did it only once as it took me forever to finish them all.

    I do love fog!

    1. Hi Kat!

      It rained all day yesterday and it will continue through most of the day with the exception of tomorrow Wednesday, if they’re guessing right. Everything is muddy now and I’m a bit tired of it to be honest.

      It’
      s the same a bit north of here as it is at Your sisters, lots of snow. Even though I’m tired of rain I still don’t want any snow 🙂 🙂 It will fall below 32F tonight so the roads will be funny to drive on.
      The same here but I’m usually too lazy to bake them myself 🙂 but since the one I can buy are so bad I better start baking them myself 🙂

      Have a great day!
