Gingerbread Lobsters

Hooray for the weekend and not working on it. The rest of this week has been very busy and it is nice to have the weekend and not really have to do anything. Today I slept in, Don was being "sneaky" and left early for some lat minute shopping, then got up and ran an errand of my own. Once we both made it home we had some lunch and watched some cycling on DVD. I ended up falling asleep, me and the kitties all in a pile leaning on Don. We rented some movies for the evening, got some supper and then made some gingerbread cookies. Don really wanted to make some gingerbread people, but we didn't have a people cookie cutter so last week we had gone out and gotten one at a local cooking store. They have a large selection of cookie cutters and I could not resist the lobster. The dough was a little difficult to work with because it gets really sticky at room temperature so we had to keep stopping and putting it in the fridge to firm up again....needless to say, some of our people are missing parts, and there are several partial lobsters as well. We do have some tiny cutters that worked great and look just like what they are supposed to. It was a fun way to spend the early evening and the cookies are tasty. Which is always a plus. Tomorrow is another day with no real plan. We may be getting together with friends, or maybe not. We will have to see what the day brings.
