Gratz ^_^ We just harvested some rhubarb, but I still have no idea what to do with it. Maybe boil it with some apple and sugar. Heheheh.

I always love rhubarb crumble, or rhubarb fool is nice too.
Have a peek in the recipe section, maybe theres something there!
Enjoy!

[blackkitty]

Okay NTG, you provide the vodka I'll donate the slugs. Should have enough for a few thousand gallons or so.

Its a great feelilng Vikki, serving up your own produce. I had a super lettuce for lunch today and a leek gratin for tea tonight.

Rhubarb Crumble - I always put a tin/ or fresh strawberries in with the rhubarb. Otherwise I find it makes by mouth feel queer - like my teeth are dropping out. I suppose it is the chemical in the rhubarb, but strawberries seem to neutralise it. I expect there is some scientific reason, which some clever member will manage to point out. Dont all rush now

[bramble]

Hi Jenny, no, can,t add anything to that. I suppose something in the strawberries must neutralise some of the acid in the rhuberb. Anyway, i'm just mailing you to say congrats on having a "grow your own" meal.
By the way, noticed you tend to post late at night. Are an insomniac as well?
Regards, Gabrielle.

Actually I saw that on a blog somewhere. Can't remember which plot blog it was, but I'm very tempted to give it a try I'm a total lightweight though, so it'll be more for my bf than for me.

Sinta the rhubarb schnapps recipe is in Juicy Gossip.

hi Bramble
Yes I'm a bit of a late night poster. Sometimes it seems the only time of the day I get a bit of quiet! I sneek into the study to switch off the computer and then dial up the grapevine ..........
