Twice in one day

Yesterday(for real!)'s pie: Rhubarb Pie

Yeah, a repeat. I figured I would have to do this one and the Strawberry Rhubarb again at some point during the summer, so they fit into the "daily pie" bit. What better time than right after the farmer's market gives me the opportunity to get some fresh rhubarb and strawberries!? So this one's a short post, since you all should know the recipe (or at least where to find it (here, duh!)).
Anyway, it turned out really good. Yumtastic, in fact. I had half as much shortening as required, so I subbed butter for it, which reversed the ratio of fats. I can't say it had a seriously adverse effect, though!
Now, you might argue that this pie was late, and I actually baked two pies today. But I define a day as "the period of time between I wake up and I go to sleep." So when I went to bed at 4AM after taking the rhubarb pie out of the oven, "yesterday" was over. So there.

Side note: The Great Dane charged me ten dollars to bring this pie to the Ian's Pizza ultimate frisbee team after our game today. Pretty lame.
