And I jump at the chance.
Sometimes I make strawberry-rhubarb pie.

Rhubarb is a vegetable.
You cannot call it a pie or dessert.
My grandmother and aunts used to try to trick us kids with this nonsense
with rhubarb grown in their garden. My aunt would throw in a few strawberries
to trick us even more.
We know that dessert is only ice cream or cake.
Maybe a nice candy bar.
But I would eat the whipped cream and leave the pie on the plate.

One of the few things I miss from the Midwest (Im in FL since the 80s). Hope you brought enough for everyone, or this is just cruel.

Just enough to fill a pie shell.
