:) One new thing I heard about when I lived in New York City was the wind chill factor. To me, it was cold, and the temperature should have been the temp without factoring in the wind. But what do I know...

I think wind chill factor is an artificial device to make local East Coast weather reports sound especially dire...and being a weather reporter in the Los Angeles region must be the most boring and easiest jobs on earth -- like predicting that water is wet!

Here is my lemon bar recipe. Yum.

Lemon Bars
2 cups flour
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix the ingredients together until crumbly (the mixture should come together when it is pressed). Press into the bottom of a 9" by 13" pan. (The original recipe recommends putting foil on the bottom of the pan, and then greasing the foil. I use those Silpat liners. These bars get really sticky.) Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until the mixture is pale brown. Remove from oven.

3 cups sugar
Juice and grated zest of 3 lemons
6 tablespoons flour
6 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix the sugar, lemon juice, and zest together. Add the flour, mix, then add the eggs and salt. Mix until smooth. Pour over the crust. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until the middle is set. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into squares. Enjoy.
