A friend has several very large rhubarb plants. When she offered some fresh rhubarb we jumped at the opportunity. We are so excited to have some fresh rhubarb in the house we are having a difficult time deciding what to do with it. We went through several options, the usual strawberry-rhubarb crisp or strawberry rhubarb pie, the unusual rhubarb slush or muffin. We went with more baked goods this time, cake. We may love cake at our house and it never lasts long.
My husband was introduced to Rhubarb while he served his mission in Canada. He introduced me to it when we were first married, and well that is one relationship that has flourished. I am so excited to have a stash of rhubarb to play with as the summer goes on, it should be fun!
