I love cooking and trying new recipes. However, my family is of a “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” mind when it comes to food. No strange stuff please! :-)
The Strawberry Rhubarb pie sounds so yummy!I’ll have to try it soon.

Jamie Oliver(The Naked Chef) has dedicated a whole chapter to rhubarb in his “Cook your way to the good life”. I’d never seen it or tried it before as I don’t even know where you’d find it in South Africa but since I’ve been in the States, I’ve seen it all over the place. He has a lovely pork and rhubarb stir fry recipe and he seems to love to put it together with ginger for puddingy thingies.

The direct link didn’t fit, it’s http://realfoodandstuff.blogspot.com/2009/06/road-menu-part-1.html

Also, regarding rhubarb, see http://realfoodandstuff.blogspot.com/2009/06/feeding-freezer-spring.html. This week I’m leaving on vacation, so my entry includes some “eating on the road” ideas. Thanks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know it’s early, but I’m likely to forget if I wait to wish you a great day!

I sure hope someone makes YOU a yummy dinner.

There’s a plethora of rhubarb recipes on the various food blogs this year. I love the stuff, but can never really afford it from the stores. I do much better when I find someone with too much rhubarb and start making stuff from it in return for their extra.

My favorite is rhubarb and cranberry tea bread. It comes out quite tart, but is very good when spread with rhubarb and strawberry jam.

My mother in law makes rhubarb jam, and rhubarb “porridge” (I guess compote is a better word). I saw an interesting recipe for rack of lamb with rhubarb if you want to get fancy. I went to a potluck this weekend and one dessert was sponge cake with a strawberry rhubarb sauce, that was really yummy and easier than pie.

Also, if you want to make rhubarb pie or rhubarb sauce when rhubarb is out of season, you can cut it into chunks now and freeze it. That’s usually what I do.

My grandma makes rhubard coffee cake. You just use a regular coffee cake recipe (or a boxed mix works) but you just mix some cut up rhubarb into the batter. It’s amazing!

My challenge this week was the arrival of my first ever CSA box! I think the biggest barrier toward eating how I want to is finding time to do it. And these greens (collards, and kale, and radishes oh my!) have forced me to learn some new things!
