Good morning all,

I prep for our housewarming in a month, I'm trying to make some bars
in advance to simplify things. (It's all finger foods - so I'm making
various bars and will cut them into small squares).

I was looking at my lemon bar recipes and it said it was freezable - I
was a bit skeptical because the lemon layer has eggs in it (like a
lemon curd). Made me think about other fruit bars - like maybe
raspberry crumble or apricot.

So do you think these types would freeze well? I'm not worried about
ones like blondies or nut bars, which I assume would.

Thanks for any help.

Freeze them with impunity! They'll be fine. And the lemon bars will
be fine, too.

Are you sure about that? They may be fine, but they won't be safe...
frozen they'll get eaten faster! hehe And any containing chocolate
is much better frozen... like those who say they're gonna put the
Halloween candy in the freezer so they won't eat it, yeah, riight. LOL

Oh good! I was afraid the fruit filling would go weird on them. Thank
you for the reassurance.

One of my friends was dating a veterinarian. If they spent a Sunday
together, he would keep running back and forth to the clinic to check on
the animals (maybe one of them needed it?). Anyway, she got miffed and
broke up with him. She called me crying, I came over and she was eating
Sara Lee brownies, frozen, right out of the freezer. lol She was a
size 0; if I did that, I would be huge! Am I jealous? Heck yeah! lol

There are videos somewhere of people crying and eating. Margaret is the
only person I have seen doing that. She was bawling and squalling as she
was eating her frozen brownies.

Lemon bars freeze just fine. It's only very delicate custards that
DON'T freeze in my exerience.

There are JAPs in the south?!?!?

Why would she end a relationship with a vet who was concerned about
animals... what kind of airhead wouldn't know what a veterinarian does
for a living?!?!? I'm sure she could have accompanied him on his
trips to the clinic and was very likely invited... he's far better off
without her.

I've never done it, but trusted sources say it's fine. I would be prepared
to lightly renew the powdered sugar on top, though.

Why didn't she go with him to the clinic?

This seems like thin reason for a breakup.

Not that it's any of my beeswax. ;-)

We're talking about a woman who broke up with a guy and then cried about
it. Why would you think that reason would enter into it? :-)

I'm just glad it all resolved so quickly before he married her and they had
a couple of kids, then had to get divorced. Not that it's any of my beeswax.

He was a nice guy, too. She was young and demanded a lot of attention.
She is now married, with children and living in Colorado. Now that she
has matured she has changed for the better.

That's a relief, in many cases they change for the *worse*...

And who would turn up their noze at a vet, they make very good money! IIRC
it's harder to get into vet school than into regular medical school...so a
pretty exclusive group.

I know nothing about veterinary school but the one time I asked, I was
told they had to know everything about human anatomy and then they had
to learn about animal anatomy.

From my limited experience, vets are really good! I think they need
to earn mo-money or at least get more respect, because they have
better "bedside" manners than most human doctors to.

Veterinary schooling is also a couple of years longer.

Vets with their own practice make 3-4 times what a people doc does.
Folks spend more on their pet's health care than they do on their own.
Vets do a cash business, no waiting for discounted insurance
payments.
Vets don't pay outrageous premiums for malpractice insurance.
Vets sell animal meds directly, unobtainable elsewhere.
Vets sell prescriptive pet foods at huge mark-up, unobtainable
elsewhere.
Vets board animals (for medical purposes and just in general) a very
lucrative enterprise.
Many vets also run a grooming service, big money for very little
outlay.
And many vets specialize same as people doctors, Cardio, Opthal,
Derma, the whole gamut... which of course commands even higher fees.
And there is big money in large animal medicine; horses, zoos,
aquariums, exotics, etc.

Anyone considering a career in medicine should definitely consider
veterinary medicine.

My dentist in Texas applied to vet school but he was not accepted. I
kept thinking, he should keep that info to himself.

vets are happier because they don't have to listen to their patients
complain.

My niece graduated college with a bachelors degree in Equine Management.
She wanted to go on to do horse chiropractic care, but apparently one
does need to do the humans first then move on to horses. Odd.

My daughter wants to specialize in canine and equine physical therapy
and rehab. You can enter the program by any of three routes: As a DVM,
as a human physical therapist or as a vet tech. My daughter is going
with the third option.

After she completes her associate's degree and passes her boards she'll
be going down to University of Tennessee at Chatanooga for her specialty
training. Although, after hearing that both coasts are screaming for
certified vet techs, especially those specializing in large animals or
anesthesiology, and are offering excellent wages plus signing bonuses,
she's said she'll probably work a year or two to dig herself out from
under her student loans and purchase a trailer-worthy truck before
continuing.

But they can't ask their patients where it hurts either.
