Free Software + Free Fonts + Luscious Lemon Bars = Happy People

How about a freebie for all of you looking for software to do those typing and spreadsheet tasks for FREE ?  And, you will help out a charity at the same time -- OK - a 2 for 1 -- you get free software and the website will donate to a good cause.

Sounds good to me -- here's the link:  http://www.loadandhelp.de/faq-en.html#tb.   You can also download 80 free fonts to use with the software.  Go try it out.

In the meantime, my friend reminded me of these today.  These are the best and so easy too.  If you need to make something quick for a party, these are easy and not too expensive either. Enjoy some for me too.  I'm on a diet. (yes, I know, it's the holidays and the "D" word is bad this time of year -- but you have to start somewhere and this is it for me.)

Have fun with these ! !  Enjoy one for me too please : )

Luscious Lemon Bars
Makes 24 bars

Ingredients:
1  cup  (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
1/2  cup  plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 1/3  cups  all-purpose flour
2  cups  granulated sugar
1  teaspoon  baking powder
1 1/2  teaspoons  grated lemon peel
6  tablespoons  lemon juice
4  large eggs

Directions:
1. In a bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 cups flour until dough is no longer crumbly. Pat into a ball.
2. Press dough evenly into a buttered and floured 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350° oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a food processor, or in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, whirl or beat granulated sugar, remaining 1/3 cup flour, baking powder, grated lemon peel, lemon juice, and eggs to blend. Pour onto hot crust.
4. Bake until lemon mixture is no longer runny in the center (cut to test), 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust with remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
5. Let cool completely in pan, then cut into 24 bars.
