Rhubarb
Jeff brought us some amazing rhubarb pie last weekend and informed us that rhubarb is in season. The pie was so good that we vowed to pick up some rhubarb and make some sort of crisp (read: something easier than pie) before the season ends.
We managed to throw together a rhubarb crisp tonight and it was wonderfully tart and sweet. It's so easy to make -- just chop up the rhubarb in half-inch pieces and toss it with a good amount of sugar (a lot of sugar is good if you're sensitive to tart things). Then put some sort of crisp topping on top (we used the apple oatmeal crisp topping from the NYTimes cookbook), cook for half an hour and serve with ice cream. It wasn't quite as dreamy as the homemade pie, but it was damn good.
