I may have many talents and many interests, but none of them include activities in the kitchen.
I don’t like cooking, and don’t like baking so much – I do it once in a while but not with much of a passion.
I slump everthing and the funniest cases are when me and Þórir are baking together, because we drive each other crazy. He needs to measure everything and even when the recipe says "handful of this" he would need to measure it! 
then I tell him to just throw a little bit of this and more of that in the bowl and it usually ends in either one of us leaves the kitchen 
So today I was making gingerbread figures with Patrik and it went all right to begin with. I bought a good idiot proof instant mix and just had to add syrup, milk & butter.
After making few figures; batch 1 was ready to hit the oven.. and it came out looking like this!!
We bought some new great figure forms in Ikea (where else!!?) and they are very different from the ones we have used before – Love it!
When batch 2 finally came out, after being monitored in the oven, Patrik was soooo excited, and yelled out "yayy just the way they are supposed to look!!"
Tomorrow he’ll have his friend Atli come over to help him decorate the figures…..
the ones that are edible that is……
