It's not like we're making some kind of persnickety pastry. We're making bars: a bunch of gooey stuff and miscellaneous solids squished together, tamped down on a baking sheet, and baked until toasty. So feel free to interpret "5/8" as "a little over a half cup" or even "a little handful, to taste." I didn't make up this recipe--this is how it appeared in the book!Julianna Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277727700915648607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245225178580170753.post-68089555141972058252014-07-27T12:47:15.919-05:002014-07-27T12:47:15.919-05:005/8 cups??

In the early 1990s I had a book-editing client (she was an author/photographer) who lived there, and it sounded like a lovely place.<br /><br />Now if you're into baking, especially healthy-type baking, I do encourage you to get a copy of "Uprisings." You'll have to find a used copy, as it's out of print, but last I checked, there are some available through Amazon. It is a true celebration of those (sadly disappearing) cooperative establishments.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting,<br />JulieJulianna Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277727700915648607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245225178580170753.post-38005811233197913262012-03-10T22:06:06.191-06:002012-03-10T22:06:06.191-06:00Hey, I've been to Blue Heron Bakery!
