June 9th is National Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie Day. As far as I am concerned, I’ll take any excuse I can get to eat strawberry-rhubarb pie!
Although many people think rhubarb is a fruit, it is actually a vegetable. Guaranteed to make you pucker up, you can find the tangy and tart perennial at many local Farmer’s Markets across the nation.
