I cut this out of the back of the sugar sack, thinking I'd try it someday. Yesterday was cool enough for me to get interested in baking. I made an old fashioned rhubarb crisp with blueberries and these bars. Since I have been cutting back or having no dessert lately, they will get frozen or shared. But I had to have a "small piece" of the bars to see if they were worth sharing and they are. I like them because they were not very sweet, a bit chewy with the oatmeal, a little bit peanut buttery, a...

My first thought and attempt was to copy and paste this article from All Recipes about potato salad and the 1000 (or close) different ways to make it. I had no idea. I tried to cheat and send it to Dena, but it didn’t fly. Guess it was like 1400 words and would have taken a whole page, just for potato salad. Some make it hot, some make it cold, and some make it in the pot nine days old. The article listed the different potatoes one can use; I prefer either baked potatoes or red potatoes. I...
