Welcome to yet ANOTHER post about rhubarb! Three out of four of my last (very sporadic) posts have, in fact, covered rhubarb. But I could not NOT share this one, for two reasons. First, it’s your absolute last chance to get fresh rhubarb and you should be taking advantage of it while you can. And second, I made this pie twice in the past 2 weeks – once for myself and once for a dinner party – and my friends went nuts for it. It’s seriously one of the absolute best pies I’ve ever made.
It’s officially my favorite three weeks of the year, weather-wise, in New York City. You can sleep without air conditioning and you don’t wake up with your hair slicked to the back of your neck. You can leave point A on foot and arrive dry at point B, without sweating through your clothes at all. The subway stations, while still gateways into an abysmal mess of bureaucratic incompetence, do not make you feel like you’re standing in the gateway of hell. There’s a crisp breeze in the morning, which has necessitated a sweater on early runs to the grocery store, a leaf here and there on the sidewalk and a general feeling, I think, of contentment.
My family and I spent the past weekend in Savannah, relaxing hard and eating even harder. I’m not usually one for long weekend trips, preferring to really go all out a few times a year instead, but this quick getaway was actually the perfect way to shut my brain off, take a bunch of luxurious naps and drink too much alcohol during the day, but it didn’t really matter because there was always a potential nap on the horizon.
Happy Labor Day! Nothing says summertime like rhubarb, right? Well, it may be September but thanks to my friend Steph, the talented gardener and blogger, I have a fridge and freezer full of rhubarb and the clock is ticking on baking seasonal goodies. I usually default to making this delicious rhubarb crisp, which you should definitely try if you also have an abundance of rhubarb in your possession. But this time I wanted to try something a little more rustic and different. This weekend, my roommate and I had our parents over for an early evening barbecue, and I knew this was my chance to put together a rhubarb dessert that wow’ed.
