白宮豪華白巧克力姜汁餅屋

        姜汁餅是西方傳統(tǒng)的圣誕節(jié)食品，很多美國人過圣誕節(jié)都會自己制作一個姜汁餅屋，但是恐怕哪家的餅屋都沒有總統(tǒng)家的那么豪華吧。白宮所有的員工，從木匠，管道工到電工都會協(xié)助廚房一起完成，快來看看這個夸張的餅屋長啥樣兒吧！
 

         Each year, the White House Pastry Team comes together with other members of the White House staff to work on a favorite holiday tradition: The White House Gingerbread House. Everyone from White House carpenters to plumbers to electricians lend their expertise to help make this project a success. The recipe called for more than 150 pounds of gingerbread dough and 250 lbs of white chocolate. Special features of this year's gingerbread house include a shadow box view of the State Dining Room and marzipan renderings of the vegetable garden and our favorite four-pawed friend, Bo.

        每年，對于白宮的點心小組來說，這是每年白宮的一項傳統(tǒng)：制作白宮姜汁餅屋。白宮所有的員工，從木匠，管道工到電工都會協(xié)助他們一起完成。一個姜汁餅屋要耗費150磅姜汁面團，250(英)磅的白巧克力。今年還增加了新的元素，廚師們把微縮的總統(tǒng)餐廳，蔬菜園和小狗Bo也加了進來。
