Cinnamon made the news today. Seems like the EU wants to restrain our use of it, because it's toxic. Our radio broke out laughing during a live interview

He said he'd never heard of anyone dying of a cinnamon overdose (hey! Nice name for a band!)

- Of all the possible death reasons death by cinnamon is probably mentioned near the bottom of the list, he said

Drowning in cinnamon powder, perhaps.

Friend of mine uses cinnamon to keep his cholesterol level down. I told him his blood vessels may be as clean a newborn's when he dies of liver failure, but we agreed that death must have a reason

indeed, death must have a reason and that reason should better not be something boring

I'll drink to that

For the first time ever I made my own gingerbread dough. One of these days I should bake it...

We'll see if it was worth waiting for

I am quite curious myself.

You should bake a gingerbread house - IKEA style. That way you could put all the flat modules in a letter and send it to me

Good thinking.

I will bake dinosaurs and elephants.

What, no hippos?

Hippos are not for baking.

Ah, that explains the size of my oven

Too big for hippos? Mine can surely handle dinos and elephants.

Mine is way too small for those

But it should be big enough for the pork roast I bought on sale on monday: Almost 5 kilos

wouldn't it be nice to have an oven that can hold dino's, dogs, ..
I'm not certain I'd like to think of the combination hippo and oven ..

Might keep you warm in the heart of the Estonian winter nights. Just saying.

Yeah, we had a very cold night, whole -2,4C.

shocking... Did the government advise you to dress up warm?

Nope, they are probably frozen.
