Laura Ingalls Wilder Birthday // Gingerbread

  Hello! I don't know if you already knew or not, but today is Laura Ingalls Wilder's birthday! Yesterday, I tried out her gingerbread recipe. Here's part of it in her handwriting:

  I used this recipe to make it: http://laurassweetmemories.blogspot.com/2011/12/laura-ingalls-wilders-famous.html 

  We put butter on our gingerbread, but Laura suggested chocolate frosting!

  The problem is, I overcooked mine. I want to make it again, and when I do, I want to put it in wider casserole dish (I used a small square casserole dish.) You should make some!

  Here is a quote by Caroline Ingalls, and then one by Laura.  

"If wisdom’s ways you wisely seek, Five things observe with care: To whom you speak, Of whom you speak, And how and when and where." ~ Caroline ("Ma") Ingalls 

Are you going to try the gingerbread recipe? Are you doing anything else to celebrate? Have you read any of the Little House Books?
