The only thing he wouldn't eat was Rhubarb. I spent a great deal of my life afraid of rhubarb, because if my dad wouldn't eat it, well my word! How awful must it be? <BR/><BR/>Finally, when I was about 33 or so, I was watching a gardening show, and the entire show was about rhubarb. The show is half garden / half cooking, so she took the rhubarb into the kitchen and started producing these amazing looking dishes.<BR/><BR/>I went out, fund some rhubarb at the store and have been a big fan ever since.<BR/><BR/>As for Toad in the Hole, I made it once for Clinton's 3rd grade class. They were doing some sort of cultural history feast. He still raves about it 5 years later.<BR/><BR/>ps - I really like brussels sprouts too.Brave Sir Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885043536453757210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-78212101261139851692008-03-07T13:18:00.000+00:002008-03-07T13:18:00.000+00:00Jenine,Definitely make some rhubarb crumble.

It is easy and delicious and pink -- but in a wholesome way as opposed to a "my little pony" way.<BR/><BR/>I'm just going for a walk now . . . but I think it will be closer to "4" today.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-73690107376228211782008-03-03T15:44:00.000+00:002008-03-03T15:44:00.000+00:00You walked 8 miles?!

I assume that there is rhubarb at the grocery store now. But I have been avoiding the store for about a month. It seems to be a symptom of some winter depression for me this year. I am willing to dash in and get a few things but haven't had the heart for a leisurely trip through the store, evaluating produce, contemplating recipes and weighing my options. After a warmer weekend I think I'm feeling more perky and will go look for rhubarb directly.Jeninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327848256257094743noreply@blogger.com
