It was a case of "Nibble, Nibble at my House" this morning at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose as I stumbled across a genuine, life-sized Gingerbread House ... and nibbled at it. How I missed it when I checked-in last night is beyond me -- perhaps it had something to do with the fact that it was 1:00 a.m. -- but this morning I literally walked right into it. Indeed, the hotel encourages you to walk right into the one-room cottage and explore. "This Gingerbread House was built by our Engineering Department and hand-decorated by our Pastry Chef," reads a sign by the door. Something tells me the Engineer didn't exactly expect guests to break off shingles and eat them, but I did sample a tiny piece from below one of the window sills. It was as dry as sawdust. No evil witches emerged, but the Concierge didn't look happy ...!

A LACK OF GINGERBREEDING ... ?

Interesting to have something like that in the middle of the hotel. I wonder how they keep kids from eating there way through it(winks). This is a great picture of you. (Hugs)Indigo
what no house of fritters
"It was as dry as sawdust."
Really, Marty, what did you expect?
Very cool! Hey, you sure look suave and debonair standing there!! What would happen if every patron took a nibble??
I bet a termite would find it to be a veritable feast :o)
