Everything you wanted to know about rhubarb but were afraid to ask. (Oh wait, that's sex.) Eh, what the hell – I think rhubarb is sexy. There, I said it.
First off, that splashy photo is FANTASTIC, and second, I am 100% certain you still harbor a small resentment towards Jody for getting to be Cleopatra VII.
David, I think we had kindred childhoods. One of my early memories is going down the street to a house where wild rhubarb was growing. We would break a few stems off, then climb the apple tree to hide our dastardly deed. Never knew back then that the leaves were toxic. I guess I am glad that way back then, no one was interested in the leaves of much of anything in the food supply. thanks for the memory.
Indeed, sounds like we had twin childhoods. You are more than welcome for the memories. I hope you make something delicious with rhubarb this year. Try the vodka, I'm telling you… It's fantastic!
Lyla, I’m so glad you enjoyed the little world tour of rhubarb—and that the freezing tips were helpful! Rhubarb has such a fascinating (and tart) past, don’t you think? Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment!
David, I am mesmerized by that vodka splash photo! My mom used to make rhubarb compote when I was a kid, I could never get enough of it.
Thank you, Lisa! And rhubarb compote is da bomb.
David,

First, thank you. Second, you know me so well!

David, that vodka splash phot is AMAZING!!!
Thank you, Ginger!!! I'm quite chuffed with it.
Love the history lesson from around the world on Rhubarb. Learning the proper way to freeze it is also very helpful.
Thanks
