With Thanksgiving upon us here in the US, it's almost time for me to make gingerbread leathermen again.
@LeatherCigarSir Wow, yours are SO much better! MANY years ago a few of us got together for drinking and cookie decorating, which in retrospect, probably wasn’t the best combination… The photos I have of those cookies are *tragic* and I can’t even remember which ones were mine. :-p
@4_InTheMorning Thanks! Admittedly I spent a lot of time on each one. Needless to say, not very many people were gifted them. Yours looks like he had a good night, and I'm sure he was delicious!
@LeatherCigarSir I don’t know that I’d have the heart to eat them. I’d probably want to preserve them forever in Gloopstik so they didn’t get ruined. (Super bonus points for anyone who knows where Gloopstik is from)
@4_InTheMorning A couple people did preserve theirs actually, with some kind of shellac I think.
@LeatherCigarSir That's pretty much what Gloopstik is and what I was thinking I'd preserve them with too. https://youtu.be/A2XKfsTPDxA?t=374

@4_InTheMorning Wow, I have not seen that in a very, very long time!
@LeatherCigarSir lol. I'm surprised you even recognize it. I've met VERY few people of ever even heard of that obscure bit of commercialized Christmas mirth.
@4_InTheMorning Well, I am *cough* *cough* old enough. I saw it in the late 70's on tv and rember it because of what the toys looked like after they went through the machine - encased in resin.
