Red is the color of Valentine's Day!! In the past we've celebrated with some heart shaped donuts but nobody was really into Dunkin' Donuts or DD!! Today we just had a pie - with a red filling so there was some intimation of recognizing VD!

Thatched top is a nice touch! |
The pie was strawberry rhubarb from Trader Joe's. It looked kind of homemade and not like your cookie cutter pies from the regular supermarket. There was a thatched curst on top and exactly what you would expect from strawberry rhubarb filling.

The irregularity of the crust and the stuff spilling out gives it a homemade appearance! |

Some of that crust is pretty thick! |
It was good for the most part but the takeaway is this was a very doughy pie. The crust tended to be a little thick and not very flakey. The volume of filling to crust was probably a little on the low side. It was nice but even though it is Valentine's Day, probably no expressions of eternal love for this pie, just a passing fling.
