Feeling ambitious? The Food Network has a gingerbread house recipe right here. Or you can learn by
watching the master (or is that mistress?), Martha Stewart work with Miss Piggy.

Enjoy your visions of gingerbread. I feel a craft attack coming on. Royal icing is the culinary equivalent of hot glue.

So what's up with that Star Trek Trailer? Analysis roundup

 

The trailers for Star Trek: Into Darkness have raised a lot of questions about just who that mysterious villian played by "Sherlock" and "The Hobbit" star Benedict Cumberbatch. (Side note: has there have been a better name for a British actor?) Speculations have run from Kahn to Spock's brother Sybok from the poorly received Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Many have insisted Cumberbatch is not playing Kahn; and they wouldn't lie to us, right? Below we have a trailer and then a link to Entertainment Weekly's blow by blow of the trailer with some interesting ideas as to what's going on. I'm pretty sure I see Carol Marcus in there. Or am I just imagining things? I hope in this version of the future Kirk's son doesn't wear a preppie sweater tied around his shoulder on the bridge. I appreciate the work of the late Merritt Butrick in Square Pegs, but not a stellar choice to play Kirk's son.
