Rhubarb Recipe

This recipe was given to me, but now I have forgotten by whom.  Anyway, it disguises the rhubarb enough so that Mike will eat some of it.

Rhubarb Crunch
Crust: 1 cup each-quick-cook oats, light brown sugar, and flour (I use wheat/white mix).
          pinch of salt
          1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
Give all of this a whir in the food processor or (the old-fashion way) blend with a pastry cutter til it is crumbly.
Press half this mix into a deep 5"x7" pan.

Put 2 cups of diced rhubarb over the crust in pan.

Filling: 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Bring these ingredients to a boil until thickened.  Add to this 1 can cherry pie filling. Spoon the mix over the rhubarb in pan.
Sprinkle the rest of the crust ingredients over the top.  Sprinkle on 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I liked a mix of walnuts and almonds).
Bake in a pre-heated 350 oven for 40-45 minutes.
Serve with whipped cream.  Or vanilla ice cream.

*************************
Honestly, it is like someone up there threw a switch.  Spring is just gone and summer is here.  Rainiest spring ever...no one will miss it.

    Sure wish it had been the rainiest spring in my part of the world. We desperately needed it ... still do.

  5. Sounds great.
    I agree with the switch throwing. Once the rain quit, the 90's came. It was 98 today at noon. Come on now.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
