I made lemon coconut squares for the launch today. The launch which was scrubbed about 15 minutes after I walked into the office due to a leak in the hydrogen line that was filling the external tank with fuel. Word on the street is that we’re now looking at launching no earlier than Sunday, which is a bummer because 1) I’m ready to get this mission off the ground and 2) it means I might have a cert qual (a.k.a. big evaluation) sim THIS FRIDAY.
Commence freaking out.
Yesterday I tried to give my officemates tickets to the Rockets-Lakers game tonight. The game I thought I wouldn’t be able to go to. They didn’t want them, so I gave them to Edwin, and then today they all laughed at me because now I’ve got nothing to do tonight, but don’t have the tickets anymore! Oh well, I know he’ll enjoy the game, and Jose and I will just watch on TV.
But the lemon coconut squares turned out quite yummy. I’d never made them before, and when the recipe said to mix flour and sugar and then “cut in butter” to make the crust, I had no idea what it meant to “cut in butter.” However, a quick internet search turned up not only instructions, but photos of what the dough should look like. Thank you, internet! You saved my lemon squares.
