I love gingerbread and firmly believe that it shouldn’t be saved for the winter holiday season. Gingerbread should be consumed year round. I should clarify by saying that while I believe this from an intellectual standpoint, psychologically speaking, I have to find a way to get past the whole “gingerbread is a winter dessert” thing.<\/p>\n
