My neighbor keeps bringing rhubarb to me. I don't really like it, and I'm not sure how to cook it or what to do with it. Besides, I don't really have time for baking. But, I graciously accept it in the kind spirit that it is given, and hope that some day I can cook it, or freeze it, or bake it, or...........???

Yikes! We used to have rhubarb in our yard at the "little house" in Batavia. Donna and I were allowed to have part of it, but were severely warned about the rest of the plant because it was poisonous. But the part we could have (the stems, I'm sure) were sour "as all get out", so we were confused about why we would want it.

I think that you are supposed to make "strawberry rhubarb pies", but I have no idea why you would want to wreck a perfectly good strawberry pie by adding rhubarb...

I thought we used to dip it in sugar and eat it raw? Or you could re-gift it....
