Rhubarb pie

3 cups young rhubarb, finely grated rind of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teas. ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 egg,

Wash and cut rhubarb into 1/2 inch cubes, In a large bowl, mix orange rind, corn starch, sugar, cinnamon, butter and egg. Add the rhubarb and mix . Now you can put in your own crust recipe or lazy me, I the buy the pillsbery in red box in freezer section of grocery store, I use to make my own crust, But the humidity would affect the out come of the dough.

Pot roast, Irene"s way.

I buy a good size chuck roast, I like the flavor of chuck roast. I use a cast iron cooking pot with a tight lid, I quess a heavy frying pan would work, but don"t think you would get the slow cooking , also maybe one of those slow cookers would work. Well any way, I stick several cloves of garlic in the meat, and then I brown it real good on both sides, don"t burn it. Then I pour 2 cups of beef broth in the pot, and put on tight lid, You can also salt the meat if you wish. Simmer for a few hours, Then I remove roast, set aside, And cool the broth, I use ice cubes to cool quickly as broth is usually rich enough to do that. Take off all grease, and put roast back in pot. And bring back to boil, I mix a little juice in cup and put in corn starch [ probably about two tablespoons] and add this to broth to thicken a little at a time. Now I cook all my veg. by them selves as I don"t want to dulute the flavor of the roast. when veg. are all done add to roast . I use carrots, red potatoes, cut celery, or what ever you have on hand.
