Rhubarb Season!

By
When I stopped by Earthbound's Organic Farmstand and Kitchen for lunch today, I spied a pile of crimson stalks that means only one thing: rhubarb season!

Though I love a fresh rhubarb salad, I owe some people some pies. My friends and I embrace the barter system often. In this case, Jake traded future rhubarb pies for a truckload of firewood when we were stranded in the snow last month. Time to make good on that trade.

So, I plucked up three pounds of the deepest, freshest looking ones and will hit the kitchen tomorrow.

    I was delighted to see in Christy's comments above that you can freeze rhubarb.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island.

Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
