I like to make bar cookies that fill a jelly roll pan rather than use a 13x9. They're thinner and I usually cut them into 64 pieces. I made these for the apartment house for tomorrow. ( There's only 62, because we always make sure they taste good enough.)
Basic Lemon Bars Makes 64 sweet & sour bars, just like lemon meringue pie.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter, softened (used 1/2 margarine, 1/2 butter)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup bottled lemon juice
4 large eggs (used 3 of Piper's HUGE eggs)
-
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine flour and powdered sugar, mix in butter until well blended. Press into a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, to prepare the frosting, beat together flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon juice, and eggs.
4. Pour this mixture over the hot, baked bars. Bake again for 25 minutes.
Cool before cutting with oiled pizza cutter.

Still having computer printer trouble, but found these paper twist 'corn husk' dolls I made a while back.
The witch was based on a straw Halloween decoration, and the others are some variations I made.
Styrofoam heads, twisted paper, ribbons, silk from an old shedding Christmas ornament for the blond hair.

Easter 2010; 'watercolor' eggs.
Hot water dye, with paint brushed accents. There were more, but they were eaten before I found the camera.

A man comes into a room with an empty glass and a pitcher of water. He proceeds to pour water into the glass, and stops at the half-way point.
That glass is half full.

A man comes into a room with a full glass of water and an empty pitcher. He proceeds to pour one half of the water from the glass into the pitcher.
That glass is half empty.

I say "What, you're too cheap to give me an entire glass of water?"

Still having computer problems...well the computer is working, but I can't put up any pictures.
