[Sca-cooks] Documentation for Presentation

[kattratt]

8 Days later....
Sorry
I have no documentation for that kind of detail...
Here is what happened...
I saw that there was going to be a "Gingerbread House" Competition at 
12th night.  
I also at around that same time found the online site for the Weald and 
Downland Museum with a virtual tour of several of the homes.  
I NEVER do anything small when it comes to the SCA... simply because I 
am on this list and others where folks tend to to things big and 
sometimes period...
Besides I also like to WOW my audiences and generally go for what I have 
dubbed the "Holy SH&% Factor"
Which means when someone sees whatever you have done, their first 
thought or statement should be "Holy Sh^$" generally followed by "That 
is SO COOL".  
So the only recipe for Gingerbread that I had/have is the soft kind and 
not good for building houses. So I went with a modern recipe, (as did 
most of the others).
I used chocolate and thus broke period.
I used modern candy and thus broke period.

Will I do it again? Probably, (actually most likely since I have some 
plans in the works.)
Not a house though.
