Handwritten Recipe: Rhubarb Cookie Squares

Since today is Wednesday I'm putting up a handwritten recipe. My new Wednesday blog feature is about Preserving Family Recipes. But this is not from my family, unless you count my 18+ collections of handwritten recipes I've purchased 'family.' I do sort of consider my collection a part of me, but that's an issue for another day. Or a mental health professional...

This one does have misspellings and commentary, making it charming - 10 me at least. Here's the typed out writing from the card:

Ruhbarb Cookie Squares (just as written) 11x7x2 at 350 degrees

I had a blast at the Palatine PLD last night for Nostalgia Foods, where I served Snoballs (pink), Moon Pies, GooGoos, Mallo Cups. It was a really fun crowd that came out in bitter cold weather. Tomorrow night I have a Cakes show at Zion Benton PL.
