Making a strawberry rhubarb pie is really very easy. First, get all of the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.
In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Take a truckto Canada. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. Did you know that Canadians eat more mac and cheese than anyone else? They also hold the record for the most gold medals in the Winter Olympics, 14!
Take a jetto the Czech Republic and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. Czech, like Russian and Polish, is a Slavic language.
Take a carto Hungary and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. Hungary’s most popular sport is soccer. In Hungary, St. Nicholas visits each house on the night of December 6th.
Take a trainto England. Walk to the nearest sugar beet farm. Introduce yourself to everyone. Then, go into the field and pick some sugar beets. The trains in England are called the Underground. In New York the trains are called the Subway.
Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the strawberries? Have the pilot drop you off in Egypt. They eat fava beans, baba ghanouj, eggplant, akra, mousaka, feta cheese, olives, and muklukhiya.
Get to the nearest strawberry bush. Pick a few strawberries. Give one to the chicken, one to the cow, and eat one yourself.
What about the rhubarb? Take a jetpack to Japan and picksome rhubarb. Hurry home, stopping at Jones Beach to pick up a jar of salty seawater. They eat peanut butter cookies in Japan.
Now all you have to do is mill the wheat into flour, evaporate the seawater from the salt, boil the sugar, persuade the chicken to lay an egg, milk the cow, churn the milk into butter, slice the strawberries and rhubarbs, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.
Remember that strawberry rhubarb pie tastes delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, which you can get at the market. But if the market happens to be closed…
