Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Some of the rhubarb is pretty green, so I'm considering adding extra sugar. It's a cake with a streusel topping.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Vegetarian Times this month had an article about rhubarb with a bunch of recipes, and one of them was a rhubarb and lentil curry.

Guys, let me run this past you before I take it to Bureaucracy:
We have so many Buffistas who are writers, small business owners, etc.
What about a new thread for Buffista business owners? People could bounce ideas and solutions off of one another, and Buffistas who need services/offer services could see if anyone there could do what they need.
It's a thought I've bounced around with a couple of Buffistas I've been working with?
Thoughts, or should I take it over to B'cracy?

I will only eat strawberry rhubarb pies for this reason.
Also very good: blackberry rhubarb pie!
I love rhubarb, and pies with it, and cakes with it, and stewed rhubarb compote....
