"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine margarine, flour and sugar and press into a sided jelly-roll pan (baking pan with sides). Bake for 15 minutes, then cool on a wire rack while you prepare the filling.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and vanilla and beat until thick. Add the coconut and nuts.
Spread over the crust and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Combine the confectioner's sugar, lemon zest and enough lemon juice to make a thick but still spoonable icing. Drizzle the icing over the bars while they are still hot, then allow to cool completely. Refrigerate for several hours before cutting into bars.

Not sure where this one came from, but the word "Triple" was written at the top of it in mother's hand. I think she liked them.
