So I found some. And I did. And it was fantastic.
"What did I make?"you ask?
Awhile back on Ravelry I was whining for about a month in the Knit 'N Bake group about really wanting to get The Grand Central Baking Book. I would actually go and "visit" it on Amazon every other day or so. Then I finally broke down and bought it. I anxiously checked the mailbox every day. When it came I read it cover to cover like a novel. I learned so much from that book! Then it sat for awhile and I didnt' even make anything from it. Sad, I know.
Until this weekend.
So, I got the rhubarb at the market and strawberries were on sale at the store. It was fate.
I recommend the pie crust recipe in The Grand Central Baking Book. I probaly won't have it as a this or nothing type of recipe because there is some pre-planning involved, which I don't excel at. But since I made this over the weekend it worked. And now I am actually eating this pie for breakfast as I type this post, two days after I made it, and the crust has really held up well.
I had intended to tease you with the recipe for the filling, but I forgot the cookbook at home. Maybe I'll come back and add it later...
This was actually my first attempt at a double crust. I had meant to do a lattice top, but I had to come in to work (on Sunday) and was kept later than I expected, so I went with some little designs cut in.
So, this pie means it's time for warm weather! (Yep, I was just looking for an excuse.)
