Rhubarb Crisp

I generally make Hubs rhubarb pie because has always said he does not like rhubarb crisp. To make him happy I make what he likes. Except for every once in a while when I get bullheaded and think what about me? I don't really care if you don't like this or that, I'm going to make what I like for once and you can either eat it, or go without. Well that doesn't happen very often, but it seemed when I finally got around to making my mothers rhubarb crisp I was kind of totally hopeful that Hubs really didn't like

INGREDIENTS 14 ounces semisweet broken chocolate  into small pieces 3 Tbsp water 12 eggs, separated 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons grated orange peel 1 teaspoon

One of the biggest things I love to do when I come home off the road, is make our house smell like a home. And of coarse, food always does the trick. Since it's that time of year again (the time I start feeling like I should be homemaking and getting ready for winter) it makes me even happier to do it. Usually, I'm not much of a baker, but I do love to make a good pie. They are easy, and there is nothing like walking into a house when a fresh pie has just been pulled out of the oven. Divine. This time around I
