quicko: slices

My flatmate was doing some baking the other day when I happily observed, "oh, you're making bar cookies!"

"No," she said suspiciously. "I'm making slices."

I took a closer look at the cookbook picture. "No," I asserted. "Definitely bar cookies."

"You don't eat them in a bar," she countered.

"It's not where you eat them, it's the shape!" I explained, slightly flummoxed that there could be such concern over such otherwise amicable sweets.

"But what about these?" she asked, leafing through the cookbook to a page that showed triangularly shaped bar cookies.

"Triangularly shaped bar cookies," I announced. "And they look very good."
