At our last small group time, Emily baked a strawberry rhubarb pie. It’s about as American as apple pie, right? Well, our small group isn’t exactly American.
Eunji – What’s rhubarb?
me – It’s like celery, but softer… and more tart
Emily – Actually, it’s harder than celery
[. . . insert our argument about which is harder . . . we agree that cooked rhubarb is softer than raw celery . . .]
Then Andrea walks in.
Andrea – What kind of pie is this?
Emily – Strawberry rhubarb
Andrea – What’s rhubarb?
Eunji – It’s like celery, but soft!
Andrea – So it’s a vegetable? You put vegetables in the pie?!
Emily – Uh, yeah, I guess you could say that….
