God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts.
DATE FILLING
Prepare filling first. Combine dates, hot water, sugar and salt together in
a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until dates are soft and water is
absorbed; add vanilla and let cool. Stir flour and baking soda together;
add to oats and brown sugar and mix well. Work in butter with fork until
mixture is crumbly. Spread 1/2 the mixture in bottom of a greased 9" square
pan (for thinner date squares use a larger pan, 9x13") and pat down; cover
with cooled date filling. Pat 1/2 of remaining mixture on top; then
sprinkle over lightly with remainder. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) 20 to
25 minutes.
NOTES : I do not know the exact title of the cookbook. It is one of Mom's.
In the years since she has had it, it has had the covers, index and
possibly a few recipes go missing (it starts on p. 13). It has one of the
old spiral bindings where you could fold the book so that only one page
showed. You can also tell which recipes were used repeatedly due to the
ingredients all over the page. :)
