This afternoon Betty and I were making lemon bars. We are having a small Christmas fellowship tonight on the base to which we will bring the bars.
First problem: how much butter? My recipe called for 3/4 cup but the New Zeland butter only had oz. or gram measurements. Solution: Put 3 cups water in the blender, put the butter in a baggie (minus the air) and submerge in water. It was exactly one cup of butter. (Thank you Daddy!)
Second: What is 350 degrees look like on a Farenheit dial? (Thanks again Daddy for my chart)
Third: The glaze called for softened butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice. We got the butter out and Betty measured a tablespoon. It was then that I noticed the little brown flake in the spoon of butter. We both examined carfully and it turned out to be just a toast remnant, not an ant as originally thought. I think we would have used it either way but it's just funny to see how cooking changes in PNG!
Sweating in the kitchen...

Sounds like you are having a nice break from the snow. I talked to Dot, Kelly and Joan in Connecticut today and they were not a part of the "big" blizzard that went up the New England coast. I'm doing OK. Is it Halloween or Christmas. . . I can't quite remember when I look in the mirror-Ha! I love you - Mom/G---I love the Christmas Tree.
Tracie, Since it's still December 20th in the USA, I want to wish you Happy Birthday one last time. . . Wow!
