Since I wasn't around when the theme for Theme Day 7/1/10/ was released, I'm declaring my own theme: Pie! Here's a photo of my favorite summer pie(you're not listening blueberry, are you?)...

Crumb topping!

I like your faux theme. My guess is where you are you are seeing lots of reflections, the true theme for July 1, 2010. Hopefully you're not sea sick.
ReplyDeleteIt occurs to me that making good pie reflects well on your wife's skill as a cook. But maybe that is a bit of a stretch.
ReplyDeleteI just read the recipe to my wife who recalled that rhubarb pie was her father's favorite, as it mine. My mother would occasionally make one per my request. She said it was too tart for her taste but I loved it and over the course of 2 or 3 days would make short work of it. The ratio of 3 rhubarb and 1 strawberry sounds fine. Sue says she will make one for me. I'll let you know.
