I am waiting for dinner to arrive. Easy meal - pizza. Then will veg out with a movie, "The Seventh Seal."

Oh, about the rhubarb cake, will post the recipe I have.

NK,
Weekend on Friday and Saturday.

Shy,Thanks my little neighbor that is 82 will give me rhubarb, or maybe she will want to try out the receipe she is a better cook than the rest of us on this street and is always feeding us treats.

I have heard of rhubarb,
But what is it really?

A plant that is very, very tart has big green leaves and redish, pinkish stalks and that is the part you eat. When I was young and lived in the country we used to get a salt shaker and go to the rhubarb patch and eat till we were sick.

Shy the only thing we did with rhubarb was eat it raw or put it in pies. What else do you do with it besides make cakes?

I've never had rhubarb. Sounds good, though

Rhubarbn is making me ssad, it is fall, & I miss my family. Emland it is very good. Rhubarb pie is great my grnadmother used to make the best with sugar and butter on the top layer. Memory lane...

If it is sour, I will surely love it...

What's the best thing your grandmother made?

My grandmother's specialty was fried chicken.

Peanutbutter fudge, it was so good.

Too bad,all my grandma's were gone long before I could remember and the only one left was too old and she is gone too.

My mom and MIL are wonderful cooks though... they can whip a great dish anytime.


Fudge sounds yummmy for dessert.

With a meal of fried chicken and rice.:)

Hi all, just got back from a party watching the Buckeyes crush Washington :)

My grandmother used to make divinity. Ever had that? Yummy

Ohhh, I have stopped baking... it has been months since I put cookies or anything like it in the oven... when we move I will have two ovens... can you believe it two weeks and I get two ovens... I am so excited... I hope I can con someone for some rhubarb to freeze... I bet I can...
Divinity sounds great... never had it though... mmmmm, you guys just made my family very happy with the thought of baking... I will become the most popular in the house AGAIN...

Every since the Looney Bin shut its doors, I've been homeless. I really miss that nice nurse coming around with my meds and a nice snack.
