Lorry’s Yummy Rhubarb Crumble
After my father’s sudden passing in 2009, my sister’s and I make sure to celebrate this incredible WWII pilot and father of five’s birthday with something special. We do so by making one of his absolute favorite’s —Rhubarb Crumble (from the spring vegetable garden!). Not only does this delicious treat remind us of our loving father, but it is the most satisfying sweet treat! Perfect for after supper, entertaining friends and neighbors on the porch, or relaxing around a fire pit with a cup of coffee, tea or glass of milk.
