Today feels like...it needs a pie? Of all the Stardew recipes I had never tried before, Rhubarb Pie was probably at the top of my list of things I was looking forward to, even though it involved explaining to my children "yes, it's a vegetable" about a dozen times. I went with all-rhubarb, because I've
had strawberry pie before, and
a shortening-based crust and I am 100% converted because it was much easier to work with than butter. According to that NYT recipe, using shortening is what makes it American pie rather than a French pastry, which makes sense because it's less healthy and less work and also what I am doing from now on because I am a patriot.
