Last week Eric and I went to see U2 twice. Yes, you read that right. Twice. We went to the SAME CONCERT. TWICE. Eric spent several days leading up to the concert(s) practicing his standing skillz in preparation. Apparently standing at a concert for several hours is no joke, and he wanted to be ready. So, standing practice. Put that on your agenda for next time you are prepping for 2 concerts in a row. Oh wait, you are normal. I forgot.
There are a lot of normal people at U2 concerts, by the way. We just didn’t meet any of them. There were the 65-year-old potheads next to us in line (talking about the U2 concerts they went to in the 80s), the couple that flew all the way from Boise, and the extremely jumpy short girl who was standing directly in front of me…with a pom-pom. A pom pom that she snapped repeatedly in my face in her jumpy-puppy excitement.
I’m a pretty nice person, okay? I mean, I haven’t killed any butterflies lately. But you snap a pom-pom in my face in your efforts to get Bono’s attention and I WILL push your hand down 20 times in a row. I had JUST resolved to snatch it out of her hand and throw it on stage when she decided she was done. It’s a shame. I was kind of ready for a cat fight.
I like U2, but it’s nothing compared to Eric. He is a true fan, minus the pot and pom-poms (thank goodness). But dang guys, this concert (both of them, I should say) were pretty freaking awesome. If you every get the chance you should totally go see them. TWICE.
Today we’re doing a throw-back recipe. I posted these Rhubarb Meringue Layers a few months after I started my blog: I make them every year, it is totally one of my favorite spring desserts! I made it 3 times so far just in the last few weeks. If you’ve never tried rhubarb, make this first. It’s easy, foolproof, and SO FREAKING GOOD. I know it’s not winning any beauty contests, but try to see past the fact that rhubarb looks like giant red celery.
It doesn’t exactly make you think, “Mm, custard bars!!” But trust me guys. This stuff is legit. It’s like an amazing combination of rhubarb pie and lemon meringue pie, with double the amount of crust (yes please). Definitely let me know if you try this recipe out for your Easter festivities! It truly is one of my favorites.
More rhubarb!
