98

98 degrees (F) yesterday afternoon. We mountain folk are not used to such sweltering temperatures.

3 cheers for the dog pond! Sadly, no humans allowed or I'd be in there, too!

Sugar: Decrease each cup by 2-3 tablespoons.
Oven Temp: Increase 25 degrees F, decrease by 25 F. for glass dish.
Fats: No adjustment unless substituting, then 1 cup shortening = 3/4 cup butter or oil.
