Pie or Garden Adventures Continue!

Remember yesterday when I told you about our secret garden, and how we discovered RHUBARB?!?! (If you don't remember, or didn't see it, you can just click on that link.) But here's a picture to remind you:

Anyway, we decided to put that hardy plant to good (and delicious) use, so we picked it and brought some of it inside.

Some of it was almost as big as Holden.

I got it all 'prepped' with plenty of help from Holden (some of that help being him in the form of naptime while I worked on making the dough for the crust), added apples, spices and loads of butter and sugar!!!

We let it spend some time in the oven: juices bubbling, aroma wafting
and ended up with my FIRST RHUBARB-APPLE PIE!!!
I have a confession... it was delicious. I invited my in-laws over and my sister and her family to share in the goodness, because if not, I probably would've finished the whole thing off... seriously. Pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner.



PS. Thanks to Q's mom for teaching me to make pie.

That is absolutely gorgeous. Looks yummy! I am loving all these posts, I always read, even if I don't comment.
Your garden is inspiring, and your little side kick is too cute!

And thanks for the shout out to my sister. She's insightful, isn't she? :)

Wow. Hidden strawberries and now rubarb! I'm going on a treasure hunt in your yard tonight. PS How did you get more skills from my mother in law than I have?
