Right now, my strawberry-rhubarb pie of the year is baking.

It's my favorite pie and it's made with strawberries and rhubarb grown locally on a small farm.

The crust came out flexible as well (combo of butter and lard).

and gave our neighbor some of it. She made a rhubarb, strawberry AND blueberry pie that was named pie of the year at the Minnesota State Fair. Marvellous...

Now I’m jonesing for strawberries and rhubarb—not necessarily together. Rhubarb in Florida is a travesty, though, and it’s been ages since I’ve had really good (and cheap) rhubarb. Used to have it in our garden in Iowa and I really miss being able to snap a stalk off and munch at will. *sigh*

For now, I’ve got a mess of apples and should probably bake a pie with some of the excess just so I don’t feel so deprived.
