Gingerbread House in San Antonio
Have you heard of Pioneer Flour and Cornmeal? It may be just a Texas thing. Anyway, I buy it and it comes from San Antonio, Texas. Here's a little info if you're interested:
"Pioneer Flour Mills was initially founded as the C.H. Guenther Mill by Carl Hilmar Guenther, a millwright who immigrated to the United States from Germany in the late 1840s. Guenther built his first mill in 1851 in Fredericksburg and later relocated it one mile south of San Antonio in 1859. Guenther’s first mill in San Antonio was located along the San Antonio River adjacent to his home and on the grounds of the present day Pioneer Flour Mills. Guenther’s mill was the first flour mill and the first steam and water powered mill built in the city. Soon after its construction, the mill began to serve as a meeting place for the German community within the area. Guenther’s mill proved to be so successful that he expanded his business and constructed a second mill in 1868."
I don't want to bore you, but now the original Guenthur house is a museum and wonderful restaurant. Their breakfast is supreme! The biscuits are really 3 - 4 " tall! Yep. Yumminess. We went to San Antonio to attend a Christmas party and of course we had to have a breakfast at the Guenther House.
Then we discovered they had made this amazing gingerbread/candy house! Just look it it!
