What Was Pieplant Anyway?

May 26, 2008

Remember in The First Four Years when Laura tries to make pie for the threshers and she forgets the sugar? Well so does this blogger. And because she’s a food blogger, she knows that the “pieplant” Laura used to make the pie — which for some reason I’d accepted without question,  even though at the time “pieplant” was as foreign a term to my ear as, say, Brangelina — is in fact rhubarb.

I confess, my first thought upon learning that was … Gross. Because unflavored rhubarb? Ew.

My next thought?

Duh.
