How to Make a GingerSnape.

First off, I hope ya'll enjoyed your Gingersnapes. It's been a blast making them, and I'm super anxious to hear how you liked them. :) I've been passing them out randomly at the con (I'm really hoping to happen upon a flock of Snarry shippers tomorrow). And have some classic photes of Droxy!Snape NOT RESPONDING WELL to Gingersnapes. :) I can't get the photos off the memory card yet, but they''ll certainly be up. *giggle*

So, you've read the story by voxangelus  now. The inspiration for it was described here. (and if you've not read the story yet, go here or here)

Here's, quickly (before i pass out), how the cookies happened.

First, I asked anonymous_plume  to do an outline of pregger Snape for me. She is brilliant and delivered this:

She also gave me a cauldron (which you guys have, but con-goers don't. No playing Snape and cauldron for these folks!). Then I just printed out the graphics and used window weatherstripping (the metal kind with the little rubbery insert). I bent the weather stripping into the shape of the outine. The gave me some nice cookie cutters with sharp edges. The downside is they don't form a fully connected figure which can be a little futzy.



From there, it was a matter of sampling recipes. I setted on this one for Gingersnaps. Then it was a matter of rolling out dough and cutting out the shapes. And eating! Lots of Snapey eating!


The accidentally made Pregnant-Outie (and apparently unrepeatable) Snape went to sc010f .



Stacked up Snapes make JengaSnapes



And last, my favorite Snape out of all of them.



Gingersnapes shall also be making an appearance at zibit_con_09 .

 

Am so mad I could spit nails

Allow me to explain. Mr. PJPants and I both work from home. We have two cars. We don't drive one of them very much, maybe once a month. We just got a bloody $50 parking ticket for having an abandoned car.

To protest the citation, I'll need to show up at the courthouse downtown, schedule a hearing, and attend said hearing. I think I'll be able to get us out of the ticket, since the nice policeman on the phone mentioned that they're supposed to wait 72 hours after marking your tires before issuing the citation. But what an annoying pile of bullshit!
