Chocolate and lavender. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in. Chocolate…and lavender? I’ll admit, chocolate and lavender isn’t quite the classic pairing of, say, chocolate and peanut butter. But despite how iffy the combination might seem, this pie made me a believer. Turns out they are two great tastes that taste great…
Imagine me doing my best Jerry Seinfeld impersonation for a second: What is the deal with rhubarb? I mean seriously: what’s up, rhubarb? It’s a culinary mutt.
