So funny!

My friend Jenn got me thinking about pie. Pie is my favorite food in the world. I felt compelled to bake one of my own.

I had rhubarb from my mom’s garden in the fridge, so that decided it.

Rhubarb Custard Pie
3 eggs
3 Tbsp milk
2 cups sugar
¼ cup flour
¾ tsp nutmeg
4 cups pink rhubarb, cut into small chunks

Heat oven to 400°F. Beat eggs slightly; add milk. Combine sugar, flour, and nutmeg and stir into egg mixture. Mix in rhubarb. Pour into pastry-lined pan (9 inch). Cover with lattice top if desired. Bake 50–60 minutes, until nicely browned.

Yum—enjoy!

Full disclosure: I didn’t make my pastry from scratch (Michelle’s horrified.) I’m quite happy with the Pillsbury^® unroll-and-fill pie crusts you can find in your grocer’s refrigerated case. After all, to me it’s really just a vessel to hold the tasty filling!

They missed some, though:

• Corn Palace
• Jolly Green Giant
• SPAM Museum

to name a few.

Thanks Jenn for the nifty giftie:

At the beginning of June, my friend Jenn visited me in Minnesota. It was the best time! We did some sightseeing, watched chick flicks, hiked along Lake Superior, visited Ikea, and ate pie. What more could you ask for?

There is only one teensy little problem: I want to do it again! The fun has spoiled me for normal life.

I did get a new computer though, which is much faster and therefore more fun (read: less frustrating) to use.

Almost June and we have tulips! And the trees are flowering! And it’s almost 70 degrees F!
