like warm rhubarb pie

when i was younger, my mom would make this amazing rhubarb pie. in our house, pie was the only respectable profession for rhubarb. no pickles, no breads, no stuffing. just pie. last week we got two stalks of rhubarb in our veggie box, so i whipped out my mom's recipe for rhubarb custard pie. originally, it called for 4 cups of rhubarb, but we only had enough for 2, so i substituted 2 cups sliced strawberries. next time, i think i'll make it 3, just for kicks. make this for a spring bbq or a loved one. or yourself.
