lemony bars
Here are some lemon bars I made this weekend. The recipe came from a friend, so I'm not sure of its original origin.
for the crust:
1/2 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
for the filling:
6 extra large eggs at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest, (about 4 to 6 lemons )
3/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup all purpose flour
confectioner's sugar for dusting on top
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
For the crust, cream the butter and the sugar until light. Combine the flour and the salt, and, with the mixer on low, add the butter just until mixed. Dump dough onto a well floured board, and gather into a ball. (I didn't do this - just put it directly into the baking sheet.) Flatten the dough with floured hands, and press it into a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking sheet, building up the edges to 1/2 inch on all sides. Chill minimum one hour.
Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly tanned. Let cool. Leave the oven on.
For the filling, whisk the eggs, sugar, zest, juice and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

interweb randomness
Just some stuff that I've been liking online, like this awesomely knitted leather Prada purse.....
....this sticky toffee pudding recipe...
....a poster with some words to live by....
...and a Dutch girl who only wears the clothes she made!
Side note: One of my photos was used for an article about re-purposed materials! Yay!

homemade twix bars
There are a couple of steps involved in making these homemade twix bars, but the outcome is so delicious, it's well worth it. You make the bars in layers - shortbread, caramel and then the chocolate. It's especially helpful to have a colorful apron, fancy salt, and a baking buddy. Find the recipe here.

Some highlights from the William Eggleston exhibit at LACMA - definitely worth seeing if you are in the Southern California area.

short gray boots
I'm in the market for some short gray boots. So far, the top contenders include this cap-toed pair (above), this two toned pair:
A not-quite-as-cute version of the former:
This boot-ish style:
Completely-out-of-my-price-range pair (but so cute!):
Buckled version:
Hmmmm...likey?
