So, on cookies....

I'm thinking I'll make gingerbread this year - send some to people who pass me their addresses, make a gingerbread house...

Hm. Wait. What do I need for a gingerbread house? I need the basic gingerbread ingredients, right? And frosting, white. And possible frosting in other colors, yes? And gumdrops and peppermint sticks and such... this is starting to add up!

But I *will* at least try this this year, now that I've discovered that gingerbread doesn't *have* to taste stale and nasty.

Thanks. That's interesting... Do you know if there any sites with more info about this situation? I did a quick Google and didn't really find anything.

Smith's Infirmary, it's called.

You could check in with the SI historical society, they'd know the situation.

Thanks for the info!

No problem. Why the interest, if you don't mind?

Hmmm... I guess I've always had an interest in abandoned buildings, and I'm curious to find out the full story... Also, I've been wondering about that icon for a while and just never got around to asking, so it's a long standing curiosity. :)
