Adventures in Cooking: Rhubarb Pie!

I had a great Skype chat with my parents this afternoon, and during this time my mother was baking a strawberry pie. Somehow we got on the idea of rhubarb, and I momentarily waxed nostalgic about the great little coffee shop next to the Eastman School of Music that always has strawberry rhubarb pie. Mmmm, the best...

Anyway, dad, having spent a reasonable amount of his childhood in the mid-west, recalled how good straight-up rhubarb pie was. I had heard rumors that rhubarb on its own was an angry fruit/veg? (the internet declares vegetable), so this sounded pretty intimidating. Dad was insistent that it was worth a try, considering on embarking on his own baking quest, and after discovering a recipe that seemed to simple to pass up, I gave it a shot this afternoon. The results, a delicious, tangy-sweet pie! BTW, the easy bit wasn't a joke. Yes, I cheated with Pillsbury pie crust, but you want easy party pie? This is definitely a winner. Recipe here!
