Guess my metabolism can't take the shock of the sugar rush. So I have sworn off hot fudge sundaes for breakfast. Rats.<br /><br />Patty - I don't like to make pie crusts either. That's why I make a big batch of them (using a pound of butter and a pound of lard) and then freeze the crusts in balls that roll out to one crust. (See? There's a method to my madness!)<br /><br />becky3086 - Yikes, rain with a storm that knocks over trees and takes out the power doesn't sound like a welcome rain to me!<br /><br />Lori - Yup, although we still could use more rain, hubby and I worked on the lawn cutting and weed whipping today until the on and off rain drops got more on than off and had to come in. Now only half the lawn looks like a hay field.<br /><br />Leigh - I know rhubarb is more of a northern crop. It doesn't like hot weather . . . also requires a lot of moisture.

I planted it last spring and nurtured it all last summer, but I think the heat did it in this year. :(<br /><br />I don't switch gears all that easily either. But for rain, well, I'd try to manage. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-24543237106206555562011-06-20T15:17:07.545-05:002011-06-20T15:17:07.545-05:00So much rain this year!

But that would mean making pie crust which, as much as I hate to admit it, I don't like to do.<br />A rhubarb crisp would be great though! Happy Father's Day to Papa Pea.

How did I get on this sh$t list? Anyway, the pie looks wonderful. Breakfast pie is a wonderful idea. Right up there with breakfast hot fudge sunday ;)Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-67469796301412564782011-06-19T10:48:17.637-05:002011-06-19T10:48:17.637-05:00Mama Tea - Someone once told me that not liking ch...Mama Tea - Someone once told me that not liking change means you tend to want to keep control over everything. Yeah? So what's wrong with that?? ;o}<br /><br />judy - Yep, the kitchen area will be expanded to the whole room. Right now the room functions as kitchen and living room both. I love my pot hanging rack but that will have to go in the remodeling. The pots and pans should be handier down where I can reach them without straining my garters. (It's heck being short!)<br /><br />Erin - No, I never said I actually CLEAN my oven but I do shovel out the debris in the bottom every now and then. ;o} <br /><br />The same "Happy Father's Day" and a hug back at Loch and Finn's wonderful daddy. I love the way he shows his boys affection . . . not all little guys get that from their dad. <br /><br />APG - I do, I do love the rain 'cause we need it! There's a small fire burning in the BWCA so this rain should help contain that.<br /><br />Papa Pea wanted a slice of the rhubarb pie after his eggs at breakfast but I told him he had to hold off until dessert at lunch! (Gosh, seeing as how's it's Father's Day maybe I should have let him have it when he wanted it!?)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-32323147738172584092011-06-19T10:21:47.525-05:002011-06-19T10:21:47.525-05:00Oh but ya gotta love the rain!
