Sour and delicious…like life

My husband has a friend from his graduate school days who used to say every time he sipped coffee, “Ah, bitter…like life.” (He’s an Eeyore kind of character.)

I wouldn’t say life is bitter; it’s more like sour and also delicious–just like a Cornelian cherry and rhubarb pie. What? You’ve never had one, you say? Well, check mine out…

Cornelian cherry is a dogwood, by the way.

good gravy, I look like I’m performing surgery and taking out polyps or something mashing up the two ingredients together Ahhh, pie is everything!

In case you’re wondering why Cornelian cherry-rhubarb, it’s because we didn’t get a big enough Cornelian cherry crop for me to do a whole pie with.

If you love pie like I do, you probably want to be my neighbor; I make very good pies. Have a lovely weekend!
