Flag day Thursday #485

[RICHARD]

Let me stop in for a second and refresh some glasses and say, Gini, I don't know why.

Give me a few minutes and I'll have an answer?
DONE!

[Karen]

I have a rhubarb pie in the oven, anyone want some once it is cooked (and cooled a tad)?

[gini]

I grew up in Ohio with tons of rhubarb always available - and gobs of pies were made from it.

For some reason I simply never acquired a taste for it. Now give me a raspberry buckle or a blackberry or blueberry pie - and mmmmmmmmm I could eat the whole thing.

[Karen]

For those who don't like rhubard pie, why do you not like it? I just ate a piece. I delivered some to my mum-in-law earlier today, and the rest will be mine, I guess! Do you not like the texture, or the tartness of rhubarb? Just really curious, as I find it yummy, but I know it's not exactly the most popular pie out there! I still have half a pie in the fridge, if anyone wants some!

I'll help you finish that pie, Karen. YUM! I like to make rhubarb sauce. I just cook it up with water and LOTS of sugar, and eat it just like that - as a desert. I remember as a kid, my mom always made it that way too, and it was always a treat that the whole family loved.

[Karen]

Excellent, have some! Yes, we also made rhubarb sauce, and sometimes had it over shortcake!

Oh my, strawberry rhubarb is to die for!
