My one trusty rhubarb plant had grown tall with some very thick stalks. It was time - and so I made up my favorite pie dough recipe, rolled it out on a large cookie tray and proceeded to bring the rhubarb in from a far corner of the garden. Lush and fresh, I got eight cups of the crunchy tart fruit (Is it a fruit?)This required adjusting my recipe and so I did. I used cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the custard, along with the egg yolks. This worked well and Al thanked me since I poured out some custard in a separate casserole dish for him to enjoy sans crust - since he is wheat and gluten intolerant, baked it and had so much pie that we shared it with neighbors and family. Very tasty.

Love all your flowers. Enjoyed your pictures--your garden is beautiful!(You could be a hostess in a garden tour). We are still enjoying our tulips and daffodils. Spring is coming slowly...but surely. We are finding many fun surprises in our "new" place.
good work Mom. Wish we could be there to share that masterpiece.
Love Andrew.
