Matrimonial Bliss

From your great-Grandma S.

Today Daddy and I celebrate five years of marriage. I thought this was the most fitting recipe in honor of today! Here's to good eats and good loves, and making each of them a huge priority in your life.

Crust:
1 1/2 C. oatmeal
1 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. flour
3/4 C. butter
1 tsp. soda

Mix together until crumbly- press half of mixture into 9x13 pan.

Filling:
1 # dates
1 c. water
1 c. sugar

Boil until dates are parted and cool. Pour over the top of crust mixture.
Crumble remaining crust over filling.

Bake @ 350* for 30 minutes.
Cool before serving.
