  1. These lemon bars were really scrumptious, with a slightly crunchy crust and a soft lemony top. I omitted the confectioner's sugar, but dusted the top with finely chopped toasted walnuts when it came out of the oven. I made them for a friend who came over for an evening of stamping and she happily took a plateful home to her family. I did keep a couple of bars for my self though! This was easy to make, which is a real bonus. Thank you again Evelyn.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
