Rhubarb Pie...

On the agenda for this morning is the making of the traditional Rhubarb Pie. Younger son loves it and looks forward to a pie or two this time of year. He stated to his father the other day that he thought he would plant some rhubarb at his place with the idea that he might seek favour from his mother ( ie hint hint). Still get the rhubarb from Mothers as I have never had any luck at growing reasonable good stalk here.
Have been busy back and forth between here and Mothers doing gardening and housework. Mostly housework at Mothers not here haha
New BBQ was bought on Sunday. Sat night I was to do steaks and had trouble getting BBQ started - turned out that the entire burner and tubes and bottom were rotten beyond repair or replacement. ended up at Home Depot after looking in various other stores in North Bay. Of course, it was in parts and had to be erected step by step which was my job and once completed to cook the steak we had waiting from Sat.
Had to store all the plants and cover up what we couldn't get into the greenhouse or house as it was very close to freezing point. Too much money and time put into plants to take a chance of losing them all. May have to do same tonight and then it should warm up a bit. Think 300 tomatoe plants and you get the picture !!
Anyway must ramble off and get back to the pastry. Wish I could help you with your research but alas I have no knowledge and Cathy was definately the right one to ask. PS I found my eyeglasses on floor in bedroom after I sent that other message so did not leave them anywhere afterall. Take care
