What Seb ate

Long ago and far away, I was a nanny to two little girls around five yrs old. At Christmastime we made tons of Christmas ornaments with salt dough and painted them with acrylic paint. It was fun; they turned out really well (the ornaments; I hope that the girls did too).

I sent a bushelful (well, maybe a dozen) to Sebastien in Canada. He was my dreamy beau at the time; now he's my dreamy husband. I visited him after Christmas and learned that the ornaments had been on the tree until his father ate them, paint and all. He said they were good.
So, what did Seb eat with his cafe au lait? Freddy's foam gingerbread man ornament. Children watched and squealed and told him not to as the gingerbread man disappeared limb by limb.

I'm sorry. Did you really say foam?

Kinda like chocolate mousse... but it's the frosting that is tasty (I just hope it wasn't made in China)

Oh, my! I'd love to know how your father-in-law is doing these days ("paint and all"??!). And any Canadian compatriot is dreamy in my books! (though of course, I'm assuming he's got dual citizenship by now). . .

I found your blog by way of your link to mine--thanks so much! I'm adding you to my Google Reader (and blogroll, when I finally get to it). Now I'm off to explore more recipes! :)
