" Remember the rhubarb pie of your youth? The one your mom cooled on the windowsill that made you and your friends wash up fast for? It&amp;#039;s hard not to remember it when you read Barb Monesson&amp;#039;s story in the Denver Post. She and her volunteer-firefighter husband Larry lived in Whale Rock, Colorado, until their house, along with the homes of seven other volunteer firefighters, burned down in the three-week blaze that seized the state in June. One of the only living things that survived the fire was a rhubarb plant their neighbor had given them, growing there in the ashes. The couple&amp;#039;s next step was obvious: make a pie. And sell it at the fire department&amp;#039;s fine-art fundraiser. And fine it was. The pie netted $1,000 \u2014 not bad for someone who claimed she &amp;quot;didn&amp;#039;t even remember how to make pie dough.&amp;quot; But, true here as ever, a pie is worth so much more than its dough. Want to make your own rhubarb pie? Try this recipe in our beer-pairing guide. And then there&amp;#039;s spiced apple pie like mom used to make. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
