Yesterday, like the past four days, was brilliantly sunny and warmer than it has been all year. In honor of such nice weather my housemate and I decided to go to the farmers market that is open on Saturdays on the other side of the city. While walking over we found the fruit and vegetable stand that is always open in the middle of the square by the big supermarket, so we stopped to look. Low and behold, they had rhubarb stalks in a big box and I just couldn't help myself. I started thinking about the rhubarb plant that used to grow behind our house and how amazing it tasted in the summer, dipped in some brown sugar... so I bought some. I also bought strawberries and enlisted my housemate, who is an amazing cook, in the making of a strawberry rhubarb pie. When we got back to the house, we decided that there wasn't really enough time for pie crust baking, so strawberry rhubarb crumble it was to be!
I was so excited that I ran to the store before it closed to get some oats. Then I found a recipe online and got to it. Our house, being very quirky, has only a stovetop in our actual kitchen. The oven part of the stove is a 1970's or 80's model with a broiler on top and a full oven on the bottom, wedged in next to our washer and drier. The conversion, we have all figured out, is that 350 degrees fahrenheit is 176 degrees celsius. So, Tessa helped me figure out what "cutting in" butter entails, I made the crumble, and put it in the oven. It came out and it was incredible! I highly suggest that all of you follow the recipe that I'm going to post below and make your own because, oh man, it was so good! The house of us, eight girls plus one (who pretty much lives here), finished off the entire thing in one night. So, for anyone who feels the need to eat something amazing today, here it is:
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Recipe! Enjoy!
