In a Baking Mood Yesterday

The weather is still on the chilly side, here. I did a little work in the garden. Honestly, though, it's just not the kind of weather that draws me outdoors. So, in the kitchen I stayed for the afternoon.


I baked a batch of overnight cinnamon rolls, and frosted with cream cheese icing in the morning.


Then in the afternoon, I baked three rhubarb custard pies. Two of those pies went into the freezer, for future days, when I do feel like being in the garden, or am otherwise tied up.

With the pies, it makes a lot more sense to make several at a time. My pie pastry recipe makes enough for five crusts. I froze two crusts as patties, to use for quiche or other pies, on another night. Making enough filling for three pies doesn't feel like too much more work than for one pie.

I have more rhubarb than I know what to do with right now. Any good rhubarb recipes you'd care to share?
