Baking with hergie: Strawberry Lemon Bars

A while ago I decided I really wanted to take pictures while making this Braided Onion Potato Loaf, and people really liked it.

So here we are again!

I'm going to be making Strawberry Lemon Bars off a recipe that was clipped from People Magazine

See https://people.com/gail-simmons-strawberry-lemonade-bars-recipe-7559864 for a web version of the recipe.

I'm posting this after making most of it this time, because it is a bit faster moving recipe than bread. Also, unlike the bread, which I was already familiar with when I made it "for tumblr," I have never attempted this recipe before.

Lessons: I would do all the prep-work first. Cut the strawberries, get your lemon zest and juice your lemons before starting anything it says. This is not one of those recipes you can just "cut it when you get to it"

Also -- remember to set your butter and eggs out for a while ahead of time so they get to be room temperature. I did not end up using the called for "room temperature eggs" (if you are not from the US, or if you know someone with chickens, your eggs are probably already room temperature because your food system isn't insane and doesn't wash the eggs & force them to be refrigerated to not go bad, so that part won't apply to you)
