Gingerbread without ginger

Piparkook or Pepper cake it is called! No ginger, but in England it is called gingerbread. I am making the dough now, last minute. Contains all other spices except ginger. Was fun adding hot boiling water to melted brownish hot sugar. I did not burn myself. Almost as good as making the honey cake and adding baking soda to hot honey (try making it  if you haven't, it is quite interesting!).

Dough is ready and C cooked us nice pasta for lunch! Does anybody else want to come and stay with us and cook?
We ate it with the red pepper paste from the rainforest! Even C said it is very strong.

And we learnt to sing in Estonian "Issand leiba õnnista, ole ikka meiega, aamen".

D is cooking mushroom soup, looks like she is cooking for 20 people!

In Põltsamaa, my hometown, people are at church, it is 4pm, the first service. Crowded church and because it is so many people and I would not be there 30 min before, I would sit on the stairs on the second balcony.
