A Spring Milestone: The First Rhubarb Pie

I look forward to the first fresh rhubarb pie each year.  Three years ago, when I first started this blog, I included my standard rhubarb pie recipe with one post.  (You can find it here.)  Yesterday I made the first-of-the-season rhubarb pie for our supper.  It was indeed the taste of Spring.
