Gingerbread House

Okay this gingerbread is the second attempt. The first one I made was covered in snow (yes icing sugar) and lots of candy and sweets, but the whole thing buckled and collapsed. So I was given a new pack to make up. The packs came from Sweden and I don't think the southern hemisphere at Christmas time is good for making them as the moisture and humidity just softens the gingerbread bases and walls.

Jezebel's Eunuch and Jezebel's Demise

Jezebel was married to King Ahab in the Old Testament. She was a wicked queen and killed about 400 prophets.

Today we can think of people as being Jezebel's by the way they act with others, and these two poems are written of battling with her. The last poem is called Jezebel's Demise, a curse on her as she is horribly eaten up by dogs when she falls from her lofty tower.
