Trying something new

It's my turn to take a treat to a meeting tomorrow morning so I baked some gingerbread.  Nothing new there, I love to make gingerbread but I decided it needed an interesting topping.  I flipped through my cookbook and discovered "hard sauce>" Turns out hard sauce, unlike ordinary sauce doesn't need to be served warm.  It's supposed to have a consistency like firm whipped butter.  Actually, it is whipped butter with a bunch of powdered sugar and orange juice mixed in.  So then I thought "how will I serve this tomorrow, seems a little time consuming for people to have to spread it on their gingerbread."  "Huzzah," I thought, "I'll spread it on the gingerbread like frosting." and so, now that the GB is cool, I'm going to do that right now.  Then I will arrange some orange slices on top, and hey, presto, an easy fancy dessert.  I love it when something new works out.  Let's hope it tastes good.
