I saw this article about gingerbread houses as decorations in competing hotels. I can't remember the last time I made anything more complicated than gingerbread men.
It's funny (and disgusting) that the article mentions that some of the gingerbread used in one of the houses is seven years old. May as well use fruitcake at that point. The house frame is also made of wood, which seems like cheating to me.
The fat chef made the edible house. Figures. "Never trust a skinny chef", right?
They both spend a lot of highly-paid time repairing damage to their respective houses, just like Hansel and Gretel's witch must have done. She, I imagine, was a DIY expert, not having access to chefs. Or carpenters, if she wanted to cheat.
Edited to fix the link so it goes to page 1 and the story doesn't appear to start with some anonymous guy chewing... which, you know, is appropriate but confusing.
