Rhubarb!!

 My landscape isn't progressing very fast so there's really nothing to show you.  So...since rhubarb is in season right now, how about a recipe (or two)?



- I thought THIS was fascinating (Thank you Liz for the heads up!)

- HERE is a fun project you might like to try.

- If we still had a garden I think I'd love to try making THIS.

- I know most, if not all, of us are trying to save money so I thought I'd share THIS article in case there are some tips there that might be helpful.

Today's quote is from Khalil Gibran..."A truth can walk naked, but a lie always needs to be dressed"

  1. I'm glad you showed some of Katherine Ducks' work. She gets more and more complex.

  2. Dammit. I typed Duclos. That change happened after I hit publish.

  3. Thanks for the recipes, rhubarb is growing just great here. I could be out harvesting, but Harvey says the stalks are too thin right now. Hopefully next week.

    God bless.

    1. Rhubarb is one of those things that seem to be a rite of passage for spring. It basically almost grows as a weed but for some reason it's very costly when you try to buy it in the store.

  5. I haven't had rhubarb in years, but I've heard about people making rhubarb wine and must say that sounds tempting. Sidenote: the more times I type the word "rhubarb," the more wrong it looks :)

    1. Lol - rhubarb IS a weird word when you think about it. I've never had rhubarb wine...somehow it doesn't appeal to me (I don't like wine to begin with).

  6. Something about rhubarb that I cannot come to desire. I think because it looks too much like celery which isn't supposed to be part of a dessert. I will say my Mother did make a descent cobbler with it. Just had to put celery out of mind.

    1. There are two types of rhubarb - one that's green in colour and another that's more red. I prefer the red but it's not always easy to get.
