<<She wasn't annoying me.

I did the same thing when I was trying to find my old recipe for lemon
bars a year or so ago. I had this recipe from one of the old Foods of
The Worlds books,and I really liked it.

I asked if anyone had this recipe. No one did, but everyone sent me
their favorite lemon bar recipe. None of them were what I was looking
for in that particular recipe, and I must have seemed awfully picky to
most.

Well..I eventually found my recipe again. The recipe that I have, and
most lemon bar recipes are quite different.

So I can understand where she is coming from.>>

thank you!

i think i found one similar and this may be as close as i'm going to
get.
