Planning the Day
Today is rhubarb pie day. One for the family and one for the friend who is going to bring my new kitchen table and chairs out for me. (His wife doesn’t bake much, so he is easily bought off with baking.)
The flower garden has been weeded. The youngest DD has cut three quarters of the lawn (and it needs raking, cause the rain let the grass get out of control) and the rest will be done tonight.
The library called and there are two books in that I requested, so a run to town is in order today as well.
Time to get of my butt and get busy.

You know, I've only had rhubarb pie once and I loved it.
Yay on the new books!
We NEED rain here. My grass is starting to look like straw *pout*

I've never had rhubarb pie. Bake me one too!
I got a book in the mail yesterday. *grin*
10 day forecast says it's supposed to rain until next Friday.

I've never had it either.
Now get off your butt & bake more already! *grin*

My flabber is gasted. I thought everyone has had rhubard pie. Good thing I picked extra for all you pie virgins.
I looked up "rhubarb" in the online dictionary and found this:
Any of several plants of the genus Rheum, especially R. rhabarbarum, having long green or reddish acidic leafstalks that are edible when sweetened and cooked. Also called pie plant.
The dried, bitter-tasting rhizome and roots of Rheum palmatum or R. officinale of eastern Asia, used as a laxative.
Informal. A quarrel, fight, or heated discussion.

LOL SS. I'll have to use "my flabber is gasted" with DH. I'm constantly using the word flabbergasted.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who orders books from the library. I think it's great that I can get the best sellers for free (as long as I give it back) and I like the suspense of seeing how long it takes for a book I order to become available.
Oh, and I don't think I've ever had Rhubarb pie either.

I always wanted to try strawberry rhubarb pie but was afraid I would not like it and would be stuck with a whole pie.
What does it taste like?

You remember correctly Nookie. Rhubarb is a tart (pucker power) fruit. The one I make has a mixture of eggs and sugar and spice poured over it, giving it a kind of sweet custard with fruit effect. If anybody wants to pick up a bag of rhubarb from the freezer, I'd be happy to give you the recipe so you can try it.
