Butterscotch Squares a la My Grandma

2 C brown sugar (light or dark)

1/2 c butter

2 eggs, unbeaten

2 c flour

1 1/2 t baking powder

1 1/4 t salt

generous 2 t vanilla

generous 1/2 c chopped nuts (I use walnuts)

 

Preheat oven to 350.*

Melt brown sugar and butter together.  Add eggs & beat.  Add all other ingredients & mix.  Spread in baking pan or on cookie sheet, bake for 30 minutes.  You will think that they are not done yet when you take them out but if you cook them longer, the ones on the edges will be hockey pucks.

Let cool & cut into squares.
 

*I use a 9x13 pyrex pan & do it for 25 minutes at 325.

 

ENJOY!

 

This-N-That

 There was a "Nike Tent Sale" on campus today and we thought we'd go and look for my HanuBirthdayKah present - new running shoes.  No dice, though... there was only 1 kind of women's shoe at all, and none in my size.  Oh well.

Pool today was INSANE.  I think we had seven people in the fast lanes at one point.  It went pretty smoothly, though... six of us were going at about the same pace and the slow person was pretty easy to pass.

I just got my hands on my very own external hard drive (aka, the 60G drive out of M's old dead laptop) and can finally use Time Machine by excepting applications and music.  Hooray for automatic backups!  (Well, automatic every time I hook up the drive.)

I'm sure there was more interesting stuff... but I have no idea what it was.
