I have rhubarb on my mind. I am in the mood for some delicious rhubarb crisp, but first, I have to get my hands on a few stalks of the tangy stuff. I also have a great recipe for strawberry-rhubarb pie, but I don't want to even attempt anything in my oven during this heat wave. Instead, I will drive to two places to look for it...gas prices, you know.
Rhubarb would be a great name for a cat. I always think food names fit cats. I like Butterscotch and call him Butters. I like Snickers too, the candy bar and the cat name.
Whatever I come up with during my rhubarb hunt, I will post a picture of the sweet treat because I have become mildly obsessed with taking pictures of the food that I cook. It seems strange but it is a good reference and if I post it on the blog, I always know where I can find the recipe. For example, I am making some Maple Vinaigrette Dressing tonight for a gathering and I always google search "Midwestern Position" and Maple and it comes up as the number two hit...only after the sad departure of the Maple Frosted from Dunkin Donuts. I must have a thing for maple because I am making a Maple Garlic Pork Loin tonight for dinner too!
I think Rhubarb is the name of Strawberry Shortcake's cat. :)
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at some rhubarb on our school "for sale" site and they are selling it $1.00 a pound picked with the tops cut off OR $5.00 for 4 cups picked, washed, cut and bagged. The question is... which is the better deal? How many cups can one get from a pound of rhubarb?
We are obviously thinking alike. I plan to call and order some today and then I'd love that pie recipe too!
You know I love anything rhubarb. You need to plant some in your yard, then you will never have to search again.
ReplyDeleteI just realized my own mother has some rhubarb... I'm not buying any at all. Woo hoo!
