The weather doesn't know what to do with itself lately.

It's overcast. No, it's sunny! No, the sky is dark and it's raining. It's just a drizzle. It's pouring. The sky is blue with a few clouds. It's raining again. Now it's both sunny and raining. No rainbow, though. Yeah, you should take an umbrella. You won't need it, though. Except you do.

June thinks it's April.

National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day

National  Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day is on June 9 and we’re all prepped to  satiate our sweet cravings! Did you know that rhubarb is a vegetable?  This means the delicious strawberry rhubarb pie is a rare dessert that  is a fine blend of a fruit and a vegetable. The uniqueness of this  dessert definitely makes it worthwhile to have an entire day dedicated  to celebrating it.

History of National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day

Every  year on June 9, we recognize a delicious seasonal pie — strawberry  rhubarb pie! This heavenly dessert is made with a tart vegetable,  rhubarb, and a sweet fruit, strawberries.

Rhubarb is actually a  perennial plant and is often grown in many home gardens. The harvest  period for rhubarb begins in mid-May and goes on until early June. The  rhubarb tends to take on the flavor of the other ingredients that it is  paired with and it makes for a great addition to several recipes.  However, although the stalks of rhubarb can be consumed, the leaves are  toxic to humans. The stalks, on the other hand, are actually good for  your overall health as they are packed with essential vitamins and  nutrients.

The strawberry rhubarb pie is made with a strawberry  and rhubarb filling and sometimes people also use tapioca. The dessert  is prepared with a bottom pie crust and different styles for the upper  crust. The strawberry rhubarb pie is a traditional dessert of the United  States and belongs to the New England cuisine.

You don’t need a  special festival or holiday to enjoy this creation. This is a perfect  addition to any meal and can be served for any occasion. This gives us  more than enough reason to celebrate National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie  Day!
