Am reading @HalfPintIngalls' (aka Wendy McClure's) really engrossing The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie, and I find myself unseasonably wishing for Laura's gingerbread.
I rushed to buy this book a few months ago after listening to an interview with the author. I stopped reading a few pages in because I realized that I wanted to re-read all the Little House books first so all the wonderful things like the gingerbread and how to build a door for a log cabin would be fresher in my mind!

This is a fabulously fun read for all of us who grew up with LITTLE HOUSE on our bookshelves and on one of the three channels on our TV!
