Love lemon bars. Can Fillmore give his recipe?

Sherman, buy a volume of Sara Teasdale’s poetry instead.

Aren’t Lemon bars baked? Under water…..oh, I’m back now. Left Lagoonville for a while.

Per A Prairie Home Companion, and some of them personally tested by me, you can sing any of her poems to “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”

How ’bout a nice copy of “Hillbilly Effigy?”
