sonia | Experimenting with @runpunkrun's lemon bars

Over on the

gluten_free community, I posted Experimenting with @runpunkrun's lemon bars, a detailed discussion of my baking experiments.

Things I have learned while experimenting with this recipe:

I am an engineer, not a scientist. Obviously I should have changed one thing at a time and held everything else constant until I achieved what I wanted. What I did is use available ingredients and eyeball quantities and see how it turned out. At least I took some notes!
My intuition about what to change works a lot better for the filling than the crust.
The kind of oil matters.
The kind of citrus matters.
Buy an extra lemon. Not all lemons are equally juicy.
My cat likes lemon bars. Who would have thought! I left a full pan cooling on the counter, and when I came back the top looked different... like it had been... licked???
