OWAV:)...06/20/11...5am...42°...Sunny

A few warm days are in the forecast!!.Yahooooooo...Herb and I are scheduled for blood work at the clinic this morning at 7:15am...So I'm sitting here drinking hot water instead of coffee...Yuk!

Rusty is leaving for his home in Bend this morning after a two week visit...He helped us on two wood hauling excursions, went on a couple of trips with John and yesterday cut down the two small dead trees in our yard and a quaking aspen that could possibly cause damage to our garage floor...chipped all the limbs to add to the chip pile.

Father's Day yesterday, BBQ a steak for dinner, with baked potatoes...made a rhubarb custard pie to go with it.

Rhubarb Custard Pie

6 cups cut rhubarb           3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar              1/4 cup cream 
3 tbls flour                      1 tsp nutmeg
                   
Mix sugar and flour add beaten eggs, cream and nutmeg...pour over rhubarb in a large bowl, stir well and put in an unbaked pie crust...You can add a top crust or lately I have been just using the pieces that are leftover from the bottom crust and placing them on top of the filling...or you can make a crumb crust using flour, oatmeal and sugar for the top...Bake at 425° for 40 minutes, cover top with aluminum foil and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes... This is a yummy pie and one of our family favorites.  Sorry I forgot to get a picture!!!
