白宮姜餅屋述說美國家庭和傳統(tǒng)的感人故事。 為了契合今年白宮的節(jié)日主題“促膝談心：節(jié)日的故事”（Gather Around: Stories of the Season），傳統(tǒng)的白宮姜餅屋——一個精致的、手工制作的點心復制品——表現(xiàn)了美國和白宮講故事的傳統(tǒng)。 這個糕點作品重300磅，放置在覆蓋了1,200塊餅干的全比例壁爐復制品上，紀念當年美國家庭聚集在一起聆聽富蘭克林·羅斯福（Franklin D. Roosevelt）總統(tǒng)的爐邊談話。 搭建這個姜餅屋需要兩周時間，其中有汩汩噴水的噴泉（添加了藍色食品色料）、正常工作的電燈、總統(tǒng)一家的照片、六棵圣誕樹、紅色地毯、巧克力家具和門廊上一個巧克力制作的總統(tǒng)徽記。總統(tǒng)家的狗波（Bo）和桑尼（Sunny）尺寸特別大，用黑巧克力制作，特別引人注目。 圣誕節(jié)時在白宮擺設姜餅屋的傳統(tǒng)始于1972年，當年第一夫人帕特里夏·尼克松（Patricia Nixon）用一個重16磅的A字形姜餅屋作為圣誕飾品之一。模仿白宮的姜餅屋首次出現(xiàn)于1979年。 Read more: http://iipdigital./st/chinese/inbrief/2013/12/20131223289409.html#ixzz2oeIiJqlC Gingerbread White House Tells Sweet Stories
20 December 2013
The gingerbread White House tells some sweet stories of American families and traditions. In keeping with this year’s White House holiday theme, "Gather Around: Stories of the Season," the traditional gingerbread White House — a detailed, hand-crafted confectionary replica — pays tribute to stories of American and White House traditions. Resting on a full-size reproduction fireplace covered with 1,200 cookies, the 300-pound culinary creation commemorates stories of American families gathering in their homes to listen to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats. Requiring two weeks to construct, the house features a working fountain with bubbling water (with a little blue food coloring), working electric lights, images of the first family, six Christmas trees, red carpeting, chocolate furniture and a chocolate presidential seal over a doorway. Prominently featured are oversized figures of Bo and Sunny, the first family’s dogs, made of dark chocolate. The tradition of displaying a gingerbread house in the White House at Christmas began in 1972 when first lady Patricia Nixon included a 16-pound A-frame in her decorations. The first to replicate the White House appeared in 1979. Read more: http://iipdigital./st/english/inbrief/2013/12/20131220289310.html#ixzz2oeIjscVI |
