From My Friend, Roshana, of NC - 08/04/13 - "Lemony Lemon Brownies":
Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter and set aside. 3. Zest and juice two lemons and set aside. 4. In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. 6. Pour it into the flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed until smooth and creamy. 7. Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 minutes, should turn golden around the edges. 8. Allow to cool completely before glazing. Do not overbake, or the bars will dry. 9. Filter the powdered sugar and whisk with lemon zest and juice. 10. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula and let glaze set. 11. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the bars, and let it set (not harden like most). 12. Cut into bars and serve. |

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
