rhubarb (and strawberry) crisp

When I was growing up, we had this huge rhubarb bush in our backyard. Have you ever had rhubarb? No? Well, come on over and pull up a seat at my table. Rhubarb looks like red celery and tastes tangy, tart, and maybe a little sour. Take a look:
I never knew I was such a fan of rhubarb. My mom used to make rhubarb crisp all the time, but then we moved out of the house with the rhubarb bush when I was 8. So I really haven't had rhubarb since then, but for some reason, I was recently hit with this craving. Rhubarb is in season now, and so I made a rhubarb and strawberry crisp.
It was wonderful. I just can't describe it. It was just really, really good. Rhubarb, oh how I have missed you.
