My friend needed me to bring her a quilting supply, so when we went to get grain I made my husband swing by.... and he saw RHUBARB!!
He started talking with D about it, and then she said - would you come and pick it and take some of the plants home with you? ( Please remember I am NOT the gardener of the family) K said yes!!
and so we found ourselves in a Rhubarb overload!!!
We picked the stalk's, we took some of the plants... Besides that box of Rhubarb - I had a black trash bag full of it.
I wasn't sure I Like Rhubarb ... I don't remember eating it - so I diced a bunch up and make a Crisp before moving on...
I liked it!!!!

It is a funny looking and sounding word. I ate it as a kid in crisp and pie, but not sure I would eat it now.
...I canned rhubarb and strawberry-rhubarb jam this year. Yum!
Growing, picking and eating Rhubarb brings back childhood memories. My dad always had a small patch of rhubarb in our backyard along with blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Nothing taste better than garden grown produce.
As a kid, we would take a cup of sugar out to the rhubarb patch and pick a stalk and dip it to eat raw--delightful!
I don't know where I heard this, but someone once told me that extras in movies and TV are often just saying "rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb" back and forth to one another.
Oh wow! You made the most of it. :)
I got that plant in my garden.
Oh gosh I haven't had rhubarb since I was a kid! Our neighbors had some and I can remember eating it raw with sugar.
We have rhubarb in our veggie patch - it seems to produce more and more each year. The family enjoy stewed rhubarb with custard and I always like to make rhubarb and apple crumble for dessert, beautiful with either cream or plain old custard.Rhubarb and Apple Jam is a regular on our supermarket shelves.
Ha ha it really is a funny word when you think of it -- but such a lovely taste of Springtime. (At leas that was when it used to be ready for us when we gardened ... I haven't tasted it for a long time now!
I have a great Cherry - Rhubarb pie from DD#1. I always freeze at least one of them for winter.
