While lemons were used in deserts for a way, way long time, they weren't really made into what we call Lemon Bars until they were officially Lemon Bars in 1962. Making the Lemon bars the most recent dessert invention so far. And yes, of course I had to go with a pillbox hat, but I might have gotten carried away with the powdered sugar.

I love Lemon Bars. They’re like eating sunshine. But the recipe I like to use is a pain, because it is a no starch curd/custard and I am bad at heating things slowly 😅
I threw out two batches earlier in the week cause I absolutely shattered the custard. This batch I grabbed the thermometer and didn’t put my burner above a 2 (out of 15) and here they are! Holding shape, bright as the morning sun.

a pair of jointed hands lifts a squawking ground-fowl off her nest to inspect the shape of eggs beneath.
many years from now:
sundown. a shape cuts a shadow against a golden ridge of grass. it ruffles the growing heads of what will someday again be wheat.
many years from now:
the moon shines its light on the glassy surface of a crater. something has etched arrays of sigils on its surface, each one scarred by ash and failure. a slight figure walks the newest and largest, hands moving precisely in accordance to guessed-at shapes.
many years from now:
a gleeful, flower-bedecked doll chases another through the time-worn concrete and rust stubs of an ancient skyscraper. three other dolls watch from a balcony, more sedate but no less cheerful. each of them nibbles a tiny yellow slice of heaven. □
