Ode to Rhubarb Crisp, (Made by my wife)

Oh I don't know if i should say this but the rhubarb crunch takes me
back to my childhood
Rebecca says:
is that in a good way?
tell me more
Joel
well its in a plastic Tupperware container, kinda soft and slightly
above room temperature from being in my backpack.
its tart - not too much sugar
and the granola is mostly soft with shome crunchy bits
I used to crack open my lunch bag and pull the top off and I knew it
was homemade. no Twinkies, ding-dongs, fruit roll ups
I was envious of the other kids then
but now i feel pretty special for having homemade.
I appreciate it now for its value and for its value
of all the homemade stuff that's out there, something made with
rhubarb stands out.
its tart, its red, and its a dessert
compared to meat loaf, meat and potatoes, garden vegetables, corn on
the cob it beats them easily.
OK well not homegrown corn on the cob, they are sort of tied
Rhubarb crisp is sort of like ketchup to Midwesterners.
