Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

On Saturday morning, Pete, the boys and I headed into the Portland Farmer's Market at Deering Oaks. We had never been but had heard great things about it. We loved it!!! We're planning on going back this weekend and making a morning out of it. We're going to bring bread to feed the ducks and let Peter play at the playground.
This weekend we bought fresh garlic, strawberries and rhubarb. On Sunday, Pete made a pie!

1 1/4 c. sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
