My apologies for this massive upload- please comment on one or two and leave the rest to fill in the calendar as they're meant to do.
Our photo club had the wonderful privilege to visit Skytop Lodge on Sunday. It is a beautiful hotel built in the heyday of Pocono Resorts. The great hall was decorated in beautiful white lights and red bows with little red bird houses and cardinals in the reeds.
But the main attraction of the Skytop decorations is the life-size gingerbread house! According to the sign in front of it, the house was made with:
180 pounds of honey
180 pounds of molasses
11 pounds of gingerbread spices
11 pounds of baking soda
90 pounds of shortening
825 eggs
720 pounds of flour
400 pounds of powdered sugar, and
10 pounds of candy
It weighs 2,301 pounds and took 257 hours to make!
they wouldn't let people bite on it, though. and when they do let you that would be after the holidays when all sorts of people have touched it. but yes, we can just sit down and have a hot chocolate (with marshmallows, please) and gingerbread cookies! @grammyn
Thank you Katy, Vikki, Harry, Milanie, Babs, Diana, Issi, Kathy, Marilyn, Louise, Paul and Clare!
It probably is edible and if there was any time you might want to try a bite with people wearing masks all the time, it's probably safe. BUT with honey, powdered sugar and all kinds of candy I'm sure the sugar content is through the roof! (pun somewhat intended!)
