pie.

i made a pie.

a get-out-your-sparklers-it's-independence-day pie.

a strawberry rhubarb pie. 

it was a blue ribbon beauty.

and about as americana as it gets.

i stuck it in the oven.

browned the crust to perfection.

and then we waited a few hours for that pretty little pie to cool.

just as the fireworks show began

we all gathered around the kitchen table

and enjoyed a delicious slice of strawberry rhubarb...soup.
