Ingredients:

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment:

baking paper

oven

frying pan

hand mixer

bowl

sauce pan

cutting board

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. Then line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper- allowing excess parchment paper to come up two sides, and spray again (lightly).2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the butter, sugar and salt. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is soft, light and combined well. Mix in the vanilla. Gradually mix in 2 1/4 cups of the flour, and beat until well-incorporated. Scrape the sides, as needed. Transfer 3/4 of the dough to the prepared pan. Use clean hands to press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you make the topping. Work the remaining 1/4 cup flour into the remaining dough with your fingers so that it forms small crumbs. Set aside.3. Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the filling ingredients. Heat over medium-heat, stirring occasionally. Let the mixture gently boil, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken and darken slightly. Pour the mixture into a bowl to cool for at least 5 minutes.4. Assemble the bars: Pour the cooled filling on top of the chilled dough, then scatter the crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the filling bubbles gently and is a deep caramel color and the dough and crumb topping are baked through. Cool in the pan for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Cut the sides of the pan to loosen the bars. Then use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut the slab of bars into 2-inch squares.

Food Joke

A worried Mrs. Melchnik sprang to the telephone when it rang and listened with relief to the kindly voice in her ear. "How are you, darling?" it said. "What kind of a day are you having?" "Oh, mother," said the housewife, breaking into bitter tears, "I've had such a bad day. The baby won't eat and the washing machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping, and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble around. On top of that, the house is a mess and I'm supposed to have two couples to dinner tonight." The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy. "Oh, darling," she said, "sit down, relax, and close your eyes. I'll be over in half an hour. I'll do your shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll feed the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your house to fix the washing machine promptly. Now stop crying. I'll do everything. In fact, I'll even call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for once." "George?" said the housewife. "Who's George?" "Why, George Your husband ...Is this 555 1374? "No, this is 555 1375." "Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number." There was a short pause and the housewife said, "Does this mean you're not coming over?"
