Date squares, and an update from the vegan farm!

[Guest guest]

I'll keep the off topic stuff very short and very sweet. then follow

it up with a short and sweet recipe

 

- I've been interning at www.farmsanctuary.com for two weeks now. Am

enjoying it here immensely, and meeting a lot of wonderful animals.

The work can be hard though! I cleaned barns all yesterday.

- I've been vegan for a few weeks now, and intend to stay that way,

always.

- i haven't starved or caught scurvy yet so i must be doing something

right!

 

K, now a short and sweet recipe! This is a date square recipe i found

on the depths of the internet somewhere. I made it for my housemates

and they love it. Unfortunatly i dunno who created the recipe But

maybe they won't mind me sharing something so yummy. here it is!

 

Date squares!

 

2 cups chopped pitted dates

Juice of a lemon

1/2 cup of water

 

Combine those in a saucepan, cook on low heat ten minutes. Set aside

 

Cream together the following:

1/2 cup margarine

3/4 cup brown sugar

Then add:

1 3/4 cup flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup rolled oats

 

Press about two thirds of the dough into a pan, and top with the date

mix. Crumble the remaining dough on top, and bake at 350 degrees for

30 minutes.

 

Variations: replace dates with figs or apricots
