Maybe this is a recipe I should try. I'm also anxious to find out what's happening with your house since we'll be selling ours this time next year and thought we'd try it ourselves first too. You had it set up so nicely...wow, a list of plants in the garden even!

It sounded very strange, but, of course, I had to try it. It was the best thing I had eaten in years - I dream of it still. I imagine your pie would have the same effect. Now, if I can only find some rhubarb.

I think she got it from my father's mother. It was my dad's favorite. In my family, pie making skills skipped two generations but Erica does an excellent job expecially with Kentucky Bourbon pecan pie. <BR/><BR/>I remember when I growing up that I used to love to have one stalk of rhubarb every year. I would wash it, peel off the stalky stuff and eat it with a little salt. I loved the flavor but did not like the coating it left in my mouth.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memory.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140738523399836125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-3997981656886237552008-04-25T06:03:00.000-07:002008-04-25T06:03:00.000-07:00I'd say your edges look just fine.

There is some most excellent strawberry rhubarb jam made here (in Germany) and a friend of mine whacks together a tangy-sweet crumble that's delicious (and not gooey that I've noticed). Good German daughter that she is she has no recipe -- she just puts things together like her mother and grandmother always did.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-63232867951556255012008-04-25T04:54:00.000-07:002008-04-25T04:54:00.000-07:00Well you've got me sitting here drooling all over ...Well you've got me sitting here drooling all over my keyboard. That is definitely my all-time favorite way to eat rhubarb. I hadn't heard about the pie-making skills skipping a generation. Now I understand why my mom's pies are so much better. But my husband says that my pies are even better than his mother's. Maybe she was skipped.Terri Stegmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937147195403484110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-12879721969685566082008-04-24T22:05:00.000-07:002008-04-24T22:05:00.000-07:00That last comment was from June, who thought she w...That last comment was from June, who thought she would use her Google account but then it wouldn't take and so she went to anonymous, but forgot to sign her name.
