Rhubarb Pie


A backdrop of ultramarine blue 
cools down the warm pink glaze 
on this portrait of one of my favorite 
pies.  I remember eating bright red 
and green rhubarb stalks straight out 
of the garden when I was a little girl.  
It was a challenge to both enjoy the 
flavor and endure the pucker power 
of this magical stuff.  I make this pie 
in the spring or early summer in a 
homemade crust, with white sugar 
and a hint of flour to bind the juices 
just a little.
