[JNBunnie1]

I always say "for the love of mike". If you say "for pete's sake" or the "love of Pete", Peter shows up and says...hey, what did I do?? :lol:

Immigration, you say?

IH winds up....and..delivers:

Two Irishmen walk into a bar and ask for some lemon bars with powdered sugar and a lovely Polish girl, sitting nearby asks....

I've been thinking about this all night, and I still got nothin.

I WOULD LIKE TO USE 'MAN THE COOLER' AS MY HUSBAND AND I'S CODE PHRASE FOR SEX.

Good punch line!

Before bed, I went in to wash my face and brush my pearlies and I noticed a thin layer of white powder on my eyelashes.

That stuff can travel.

Note to self: no more baking in the back seat.

For all of you who listened to my story, thanks---

and I received this email from my friend Elaine --regarding the LEMON bars and the pumpkin paleo bread I made with a dairy-free glaze for her gluten-free and DF sister:

"We loved the food. The lemon bars were fabulous! We need the recipes."

IH is going to bed feeling exonerated for the lemon bars debacle.

It's from Annalise Roberts' book Gluten Free Baking Classics.

Here is the website link to other recipes of hers. They use the same Brown Rice flour mix for all baked goods.
