25 Days Remain

A continuation of my #last100days2023 project

Welcome to my #last100dayproject!

What will you do with the remaining 25 days of 2023?

Today’s prompt:

What image or memory comes to mind when you think of “gingerbread”?

I have a recipe from a friend for a gingerbread cake which is a favorite of mine. We used to have Book Club at her house. Jane always prepared food with love and care. Every one of her meals for us was simple but wonderful. All the recipes Jane shared with me are ones I actually made at home.

I have not made this recipe in the home I live in now. It is essentially I use Grandma’s Molasses though. It doesn’t taste right if you don’t.

I do like gingerbread cookies but have never baked them. There is snap and spice that I enjoy from this variety.

My Oma used to buy Lebkucken from the German store for Christmas every year. I am lucky that Aldi’s now carries many of these treats that were so hard to find.

I invite you to search your notebooks and drives for the prompt word and see what drafts you have that you can resurrect and revise.

What will you write today?

• A list

• A metaphor

• A memory

• One sentence

• A conversation imagined between you and a stranger

Whatever you choose - have fun!

Happy writing!

I invite you to leave a comment!
