Making a cake

[leechlake]

also not a ton of rhubarb in my backyard yet.  Buying rhubarb would be worse than buying fish.

[Dotch]

Ours is pretty slow yet too; that's with a protected south facing slope and lots of sheep dookie on it. Of course when it has to contend with snow every few days it tends to slow down the process. And here's where we start to separate the men from the boys. Real men eat pie. That's right, pie dammit!  Nothing better (well maybe a few things) than that first bite of the new year's rhubarb made into a warm, delectable, sweet yet tart enough combination to meld perfectly with the Schwan's ice cream about to be placed on top of it. A close second is the sauce ladled over said ice cream. It is bomb!   

[smurfy]

We harvested ours last year an froze it. From experience you need to add a bit more after its froze.

Cake? Pie? Bring'em both on. Reel men eat green beans!

Ya haveta have a slab o' strawberry-rhubarb pie with a scoop of new york vanilla to keep yer man card. None of those dainty puff pastry teacake crumble top thingies in a pan. 

[leechlake]

I gave a pie speech on a fishing trip once when someone neglected to bring the required desert. It was closer to a rant. Ya gotta have pie Dotch were in total agreement. 

[RebelSS]

I'll just bet ya did.

Youse guys probably use that store bought crust.... 

[RebelSS]

Nope. I use flour ground by Alsatian Monks, from high up in the Alps, mixed with spring water from the pure ice of Reykjavik, and a few secret herbal grindings from Tibetan monks, blessed by the Dali Llama, who I even shook hands with while on a security detail. He gave me some inside tips to the perfect crust.

[Dotch]

No, typically I have the maid make it for me. 

 

 

[RebelSS]

I see she's holding her mouth properly. Very important to a proper crust.

Ya but my maid doesn't know that...

[bobberineyes]

She's very nice dotch,  good thing you have some Irish spring around in case she gets some flour where it doesn't belong . I have an apron but i draw the line for only using it for bacon, unless it's frisky Friday leech, I usually get the boot otta the kitchen while baking is going on.

You forgot the lard rendered from the caul fat of free range organic hogs...... The fat is the secret to great pie crust.  And lard is way better than butter.

I have a tub of Granny Snootwhistle's Pure Leaf lard hidden in my gun safe.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!! You couldn't have stated it better Dotch!!! The first rhubarb pie of the year is the best one!!!

[delcecchi]

I like pie, I make pie, but that cake is bomb.  It would be a tough choice if faced with it.

My spelling excuse is "A E I O U and sometimes Y"  Y? 

Once I met a Polish man who had to Polish other peoples shoes all day and sometimes they were mean to him which is pretty sad, do you know what I mean?
