Yep, I was sleeping in al'right, till my Lady woke me with bacon-n-eggs... Oh yeah!
Then I saw this and thought, " I know, I know"
Appreciate it Gary.

Thanks Al, here is some more temptation

.......................................................
The tweaks have this coming along sweetly.
The nuttiness of the crust is almost perfect, almond shortbread goodness.
The tartness could use just a slight more kick, I'll try 3/4 cup of lemon juice next time.
And the glaze is perfect with the lemon zest, better than plain powdered sugar.

My thanks to 73Saint for getting me off my arse and learning to make these, they're a relatively easy dessert.

Thanks again Gary.
I've about have this recipe where I want it.
Family and friends say leave it alone, but I gotta play with it just once more.
It rocked with some Vanilla ice cream.

That looks great chile, I'm the only one in the immediate family that enjoys lemon bars - so I guess I'll have to wait until we go to a family gathering to try it out.


Point for sure.

Thanks Chris, appreciate the Like.
Heck, make half a batch just for yourself and indulge, ya only live once.
Make a full batch of just the crust, aka Almond Shortbread, and I bet ya get happy smiles.
You can substitute any nut you prefer, Macadamias are incredible.
