We got rhubarb in this week's CSA. I have a rhubarb crumble planned, but I'm a little dubious.
I'm considering a rhubarb pie. My grandmother used to make one that looks like it was a lot like this [link] but without the meringue, and I'm trying to figure out how to veganize that crust. (Right now, I'm betting on soy yogurt to replace the egg yolks. I'll give it a try and see how it works.)
amych, speaking of web dev, I gave a friend of mine your contact info who needs a website. He may have/may be emailing you. Hope that's okay.
It's either for his own company or for a smart grid startup in Durham that he just started working for.
I've always been skeptical of rhubarb, this vegetable thingie that's supposed to make sweet pies. Of course, the easiest way to get rid of that skepticism would be to simply *eat* some rhubarb pie, but that way lies the consumption of other dread vegetables. And nobody wants that.
ION, we're under a tornado watch until 10pm.
I was thinking about going out and getting some exercise, but apparently nature wants me to stay in to clean the bathroom and make split pea soup.
Connie, the only thing that makes rhubarb sweet is sugar. It is incredibly tart. You have to sugar the life out to get it edible. I will only eat strawberry rhubarb pies for this reason. I ate a slice of rhubarb pie and was not pleased.
amyth, it is VERY ok!
Rhubarb is only technically a vegetable, like tomatoes are technically fruits. It requires sugar, which removes it from the vegetable category.
I don't really understand how people can believe in the end-of-the-world crazies, but mocking them after their lives have fallen apart is ugly.
Some of the rhubarb is pretty green, so I'm considering adding extra sugar. It's a cake with a streusel topping.
It requires sugar, which removes it from the vegetable category.
How does requiring sugar mean it's not a vegetable? There are plenty of unsweet veggies. If it didn't require sugar, what would it be?
I love rhubarb crumble. The tanginess is delectable.
Vegetarian Times this month had an article about rhubarb with a bunch of recipes, and one of them was a rhubarb and lentil curry.
