I'm going to try growing some. [Big Grin] After I find me a rhubarb rhizome to plant.

Or... I could buy some from the grocery store. But I'd really like to grow my own. [Razz]

quid, I was going to write you last night, but the cat shut down my computer, and then I realized I had to be up in less than five hours for my birthday showing of ROTS (I'm 22 in 2 hours!) [Big Grin] So I just went to bed, sorry.

I will write you later today. We will be moving, hopefully, by mid June. Give it a couple of months. Also, I'll need some time to wade through Church beaurocracy (unless I get called to the RS presidency in my new ward [Angst] , in which case I'll need slightly less time and be really freaked out.) But I'm enthusiastic, too. [Big Grin]

I can't even imagine what you're doing up so late. I mean, I go to bed in a few minutes. Sheesh! Ya gotta take care of yourself!

But you did send the email. Er, that portion that you wrote, at any rate. I'm patiently waiting for the rest. [Big Grin]

I will! In fact, I'm going to bake a pie that will be shared with everyone at DallasCon who wants some. [Big Grin] But don't fear, Katie will get her fair share. E-mail me how much we owe for shipping, please. [Smile]

By the way, I heard this helpful information today on The Writers' Almanac:

Today is the birthday of famed Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus, who is famous for instituting the system of Latin botanical names for plants. What isn't so known about him, however, is the fact that he tried to adapt money-making crops to Sweden to augment his country's agricultural output.

He wasn't very successful on most counts; his introduction of cotton, rice, coffee, tea and coconuts crashed and burned. However, one of his efforts took off and revolutionized Swedish agriculture: rhubarb.

So next time you take a bite of a succulent summer pie made of Rheum emodi, think back on everyone's favorite botanical Swede.

*hates yogurt*

I am going to mix it with ketchup for a chicken recipe tomorrow, though. [Big Grin]

And the day after tomorrow, I get to see Boon again, and cook dinner over a campfire! [Party]

I was jealous enough when it was just rhubarb. Now you're just rubbing it in.

I did have some absolutely luscious golden gooseberries yesterday. Sweet and tart and mmmmmmm.

rivka, I know ElJay will send you some if you ask. And it's a very good deal-- $7.70 for about 8 lbs. or so of rhubarb. [Smile]

And it's not my fault Boon is awesome and wants to see us even though we're crazy. [Wink]

I think I'll try the farmers' markets first -- if I ever get to any of them at the right time!

That's a little far. There's one in the close part of Beverly Hills on Sunday mornings too. I just have to figure out if it closes before my daughters' gymnastics class (last one of the year!) is over.

I think it may not close until 1, which could work. Yep, open until 1.

Oh, cool! I was trying to think of one open on Sundays for you, and the only one I knew of was South Pas. But BH is much better. Hope you make it!

Me too. But we'll see -- since Shavuos starts that night, other things may take higher priority.

Then again, rhubarb sauce is REALLY good with cheesecake. *drools*

Hey, rivka, you might want to get that looked at by a doctor.

Just saying.

What, the drooling?

Or the rhubarb sauce? If I show my doctor that, I think she'll make me share.

Which would be ok, if I actually had some . . .

No, no, that drooling. You seem to have a problem with that. It seems to happen all the time. Might wanna get that checked.

As for the rhubarb sauce, I think you should just bottle it all and mail it to me. [Big Grin]

quid, the drooling is just a side effect of all the Stargate she's been watching.

It's completely understandable.

Guess what Ralphs had?



Kosher Krispy Kremes! [Big Grin]






Guess what ELSE they had?

YES! It's not the best or the freshest I've ever seen, and they only had the fat, older stalks. But I got some! *dances*

Anybody have a good recipe for cheesecake with rhubarb? Otherwise I'll just make a rhubarb sauce to go with "ordinary" cheesecake.

Too much work.
