Wow! I am not sure how May got away from me but it did. It has been a busy time at work, I am changing jobs and trying to get the hang of the new thing. We went up to the lakehouse in early May to watch Eddie graduate. The weather was cold and snowy and rainy, and I didn't really take on any cooking projects when I was up there. I am looking forward to our annual 4th of July trip there so I can relax and hopefully enjoy the strawberries. Because I missed my blog post for May, I didn't get a chance to write about the
new rhubarb pie recipe I tried. Verdict: I still prefer my rhubarb straight up, no sour cream chaser.
Looking back over my blog, I found a
post I wrote about rhubarb crisp that really took me back 9 years ago when my mother was dying. It's worth a read if you haven't before.....it's a great recipe. My Auntie Anna, who I wrote about in this post, passed away earlier this year. She was my mother's oldest sister and now my Aunt Helen is the last Mourovic girl standing. Here's a great picture I came across recently of my mom as a teenager in WV ....
My mother loved rhubarb and so do I! Luckily, you can get rhubarb all summer so there is still time for me to make some crisp. Happy spring and summer.....
