A matter of perspective

It occurs to me that at 8:00 am, strawberry rhubarb pie is breakfast pastry, but at 8:00 pm, it is dessert!

Rhubarb is a vegetable (seriously) and aren’t we supposed to eat our veggies?

I say rhubarb pie is good for you ANY time of day – eat your veggies!

I only discovered it was actually USED to cook stuff later in life. For me, it just brings back childhood memories of carefree summers of being an urban rat where playing baseball in sandlots and walking the Burlington Northern train tracks without parental supervision was the thing to do.

So, a slice of rhubarb pie is more than a vegetable or fruit; it is cultural fabric. It is a “time machine.”
