Lemon bars and a white lie.

I baked Lemon bars and they didn't turn out exactly how I hoped they would turn out. They tasted okay, but a bit too gooey for my liking to bring them to the local preschool Bingo night. Anyways, hubby helped with cutting the lemon bars for me which was a great help but he failed to wait until they cooled before he piled them ontop of each other. I was okay with it since I had already decided to keep them as a home treat for us and forget the whole idea of bringing them to the local function. My husband became extremely annoyed with me about it and remained annoyed until this morning.

The reason I refuse to bring the treats to the local function is because it looks like a gooey mess. Lets face it, who would want to buy it? Even worse, I can't handle the embarrassment saying that I made this mess! I am new to this very small town, without any family or friends living here and even worse an American.

I decided that I will lie to my hubby and tell him that I gave the Lemon bars to the school. I don't like to lie but I don't want to argue over stupid lemon bars! I felt so bad tossing them in the rubbish today, but for the first time, I realise that white lies are better than being brutally honest.

I am guessing he realises that the mums at the local preschool are not very friendly towards me and doesn't like that I have written them off completely. Maybe he believes these Lemon bars would ignite a frienship of some kind.
