…and vanilla. and i hear she loves chocolate too, and maybe a few other flavors…banana, kiwi, lemon…

strawberry is a bit of a hussy i guess. but, whatever. go get it strawberry.

instead of making a pan-pie or a rustic-fold-over-the-sides type pie, i made mini pies using a biscuit cutter. cute, but a little difficult to work with. the filling kept squinching out the sides. only a few came out pretty…and the others i fed to the sharks. i mean, sean and geoff. but you…you do what you want.

*apparently i didn’t even mention how they were…pretty radtastic is the answer to that. yum!

pie crust
this is a martha stewart recipe. it’s an all butter dough. feel free to use your favorite recipe.

1 cup very cold, unsalted butter cut into cubes
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
4-8 tbsp ice water

put flour, salt and sugar in food processor and add butter while machine is on to cut in. pulse until the butter looks about the size of small peas. while machine is on gradually add ice water, a tablespoon or two at a time until the dough forms.

turn out dough and shape into two equal disks. wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling.

for the filling i mixed about 1.5 cups of each rhubarb and strawberries, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1/2 cup of vanilla sugar. it was all to taste and what i thought looked right, so i can’t be sure of the measurements.
