When it comes to gingerbread construction, learn your rules.
, so it bakes up unusually dense, without the fragile pockets of air that lighten most cookies.
Made with butter, vanilla, and plenty of spices, construction gingerbread can be both tasty and strong—think of it as a very flat sort of gingerbread biscotti. Plus, with the scent of cinnamon and sugar wafting from the oven, your time spent assembling a gingerbread house will be made extra enjoyable. All the more so if you keep these simple tips in mind.Most recipes for construction-grade gingerbread don't include a yield, instead providing enough dough for one specific project.
When it's all filled up, keep those paper cutouts grouped together, but set them aside. Repeat with the remaining cutouts, grouping each set together when you're done. There may be occasions when only one or two oddly shaped pieces will fit on the baking sheet, but you'll still count it as a full tray.
If you save these scraps in a zip-top bag, you'll have an emergency supply of gingerbread should any of your cutouts happen to break. If it turns out you don't need the extra dough, you can thin it down with a bit of water to create a pipeable gingerbread paste that can be used in a couple of ways.to make siding on a house or the floorboards of a porch.

Chemistry Teacher Encouraging Students To Fuck Around With Bunsen Burners In Last-Ditch Effort To Prove Science Is CoolCOLUMBUS, OH—In what was interpreted as a final attempt to foster scientific curiosity in high school juniors, James A. Garfield Memorial High School chemistry teacher Gary Holbrook encouraged his students Monday to fuck around with Bunsen burners in a last-ditch effort to prove that science is cool. “As you can see by my demonstration, you can pour any chemicals you’d like into your round-bottomed flask—sulfuric acid, nitrogen, mercury—and just crank up the heat,” said Holbrook, evidently hoping to instill an appetite for science in his students by allowing them to just open cupboards in the lab and mix up whichever chemicals seemed the coolest to them. “Oh, also—if you’re curious about relative specific heats of common household materials versus those of organic tissues, you and your lab partner can stick a paperclip over the flame, and take turns branding each other. Really get that thing glowing hot.
