Gingerbread Tradition

We still have over a moth till Christmas, but those of you who are thinking about baking gingerbreads, have to prepare themselves early enough. It is essential to bake gingerbreads at least 3 weeks earlier, if you want them to be soft on Christmas day. Of course it all depends on the recipe and measurements of the ingredients. Basic gingerbread’s dough should be composed of wheat flour, rye flour, honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. But obviously exist millions of recipes, that may vary in different countries and regions.

The history of gingerbreads date back to ancient times, when their first version appeared in Romanian Imperium. In Middle Aggies they became more popular thanks to monasteries and monks who were importing spices from the east in times of crusades. The tradition of baking gingerbreads became more and more popular during the years, especially around Christmas time. We not only bake them but the most important part of process is decorating.

In Poland, one of the cities that comes to our mind when we talk about gingerbreads, it’s definitely Torun. For those of you who like both baking and gingerbreads: in Torun exists the Museum of Gingerbread when you can participate in an interactive show and create your own cookies.

Nowadays in every shop we can buy different kinds of gingerbreads, with chocolate, marmalade, ect., but homemade gingerbreads are the tastiest ones. But remember not to wait till the last minute, cause no one wants to lose a tooth on hard like a rock cookie. You have to give them some time to get soft and ready to be consume 😉

Must read

Hi, guys! How's life? What have you been up to? If you by any chance found out how to be a productive person, please make sure to let me know, cause I'm still having difficulties with adopting to the fact that the academic year has officially begun. I, personally, have spent most of my summer reading crime stories and I just must admit that there's one, in particular, I enjoyed. Have you ever heard the name A.J. Finn? No? OK, so you have to change it, cause I can assure you, it'd be worth it. The book is called The Woman in the window . Anna Fox, the main protagonist, is a middle-aged woman, living on her own in the beautiful house in the suburbs. She spends most of her days drinking wine and watching people. Yes, she's literally spying on her neighbours. And there wouldn't be anything interesting about that, were it not for the discovery she's about to make.

Larry the bird

We all know what Twitter is and most of us either used or uses it. We all associate the little blue bird in the logo but does everyone know that it has a name? Cause it has and its name is Larry. The little guy may have been named after former NBA player, Larry Bird, who played for Twitter co-founder Biz Stone’s home-state team, the Boston Celtics. Larry’s name was confirmed by Twitter in a tweet made in 2011. Moreover the social networking company’s former creative director, Doug Bowman, said in a 2012 announcement that Larry is resembling a mountain bluebird with a dash of hummingbird thrown in and that the Twitter bird has a beak and body that point toward the sky in what Bowman called “the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.”
