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.

    Yum! Excited for my rhubarb to be ready for this!

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

    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.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Okay, Linda Reeder .  Okay, Arkansas Patti .  Yours is NOT a club I wanted to join.  But I did anyway. Bike meets car; face meets pavement.  Olga meets EMTs, gets ride to ER, meets nurses, doctors and X-ray technicians, and friendly police officer who issues a citation for negligent bike riding.  Not pretty.  So very not pretty. Are you ready for this? Yes. I was wearing my helmet. Plenty of bruises and swellings, but no broken bones, no concussion.   I will take it easy for the next few days, but first order of business is to go out and purchase purple eye shadow.
