"Rosie's Gingerbread cookie shop". . . Gingerbread dates back to the 15th century, and figural biscuit-making was practiced in the 16th century. The first documented instance of figure-shaped gingerbread biscuits appearing was in the court of Elizabeth I of England. She had the gingerbread figures made and presented in the likeness of some of her important guests. Are any of these in the likeness of our upcoming wine-night guests? Hey, that one looks like Bob North!
