Also, I lack an 8x8 pan and anywhere to really store the ingredients if I were to buy them. These are difficulties. --- It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that the efficient Finns have already delivered their share of the postcards.

As to the abbreviation, you are thinking rightly. Tristan and Christina got me a subscription as a gift. I am glad to hear you got the postcard. Was yours mailed from Tallinn or Helsinki? I sent a few from each place, one effect of which will be to test the relative efficacy of the Finnish and Estonian postal systems. @Hilary

They are easy and impressive. (As someone comments in the responses below the recipe, the egg-replacer isn't really necessary, just omit it.) Actually I think I fed them to you once at Jonathan's birthday party. On another, unrelated, note, I read "SG" in "one really superb SG photoset" as Suicide Girls. Am I dirty? Have a great day, and thanks for the postcard (I got it yesterday). I STRONGLY recommend making Time Warp Lemon Squares (http://vegweb.com/recipes/sweets/5894.shtml). They are easy and impressive.
