Lemon Bars

These were tasty. Made with valley lemons (TX meyer lemons), which cut the tartness. I think regular lemons would be better here. The color was a little pale for what I anticipated. The little green flecks in the picture are from the rind of the valley lemons, which was mainly green.

The crust was overdone, and probably over-thick.

One taster described them as little nuggets of sunshine, which I think was nice.
