Slow Start

As someone recently put it, "Life is hard."  It really is.  Sure, there is a sweetness to life but you have to work at it.


Four days into the week and I feel like I can do something other than get up, make lunches, go to work, work, come home, make dinner, clean, spend time with the family, get the kids to bed, get myself to bed, sleep.  So here I am, writing.  There is soup on the stove for tomorrow and something baking in the oven!  I am actually going to stay up after 9:00 p.m. tonight!


I love lemon frosting and shortbread so this recipe for glazed lemon shortbread bars was a must try.

The crust was sandy.  I used my hands to press the sandish dough into the pan.  

Yum!

I am now patiently awaiting for the icing to cool.  By the looks of the sad pictures, I think I need another camera.

P.S.  Oh my!  This is good!  A keeper!  Thanks Week of Menus!
