The Big 5 + A Lemony Treat

It Happened One Night,

on a night like this, Friday, October 16th . . .

This romantic and delightfully funny movie is one of my absolute favorites. In 1934, it swept the Academy Awards. The big 5- Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Writing. Honestly folks it can't get much better than that!

Once again we see the charming Clark Gable and the beautiful Claudette Colbert- what a cool name she has, sooo Hollywood.

The story follows a spoiled heiress, running away from her family, and is helped by a man who is actually a reporter looking for the next big scoop. But then he falls for her. . .

Here's what I think you should make tonight:

the infamous and delicious Clason Lemon Bars.

My brother John is the master at these, NO ONE could make them better. Sorry Mom, not even you. No one can touch your homemade bread though. Mmm, with your apple butter. . .

Ok sorry, back to the Lemon Bars. Here's the line-up:

1/2 cup soft butter

1/4 powdered sugar

1 cup flour

CREAM together. Spread in 8ish x 8ish pan

and bake @ 325 for 15-20 mins

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 tblsp flour

2 tblsp lemon juice

Zest of half a lemon

COMBINE well and pour over hot crust

Bake again @ 325 for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar to taste.

Triple this recipe to fit a 10 x 15 inch pan.

So there you have it. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Literally.

Have a great weekend everybody and enjoy the show!
