First and foremost, my favorite dates:
3/4 C butter
1C light brown sugar
1 3/4 C all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 C quick cooking oats - uncooked
Cream butter and sugar, combine flour salt and baking soda, uncooked oats and cream all well.
Put 1/2 the mixture into a baking pan and pat down through out bottom
Spread date filling (1 1/2 pounds chopped dates, 1/4 C sugar, 1 1/2 C water cooked over low heat about 5 minutes, until thick)
Then top the remaining mixture to cover the date filling.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Cut in to squares while still warm. Yum.
I tend not to be an expert, far from it, on the subject of dates. (Except the recipe above) There are fun dates, bad dates, hear your heartbeat in you ears dates, cougar dates, dates that take little blue pills, and dates that take your breath away. There are casual dates, there are dress up dates, there are dates you sneak out of when he is not looking. There are over the top dates, just take me away dates, and dates you will remember for the rest of your life.
Did you know the dates that were chosen on the Dating Game before they were famous? Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Somers, Lindsay Wagner, Tom Selleck, Lee Majors, Steve Martin, Burt Reynolds, Ron Howard, Barry Williams, Sally Fields,Michael Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the doosie
With that in mind, maybe I stick to baking.
