did you grow the rhubarb? my roommate from college grows her own. she would like this recipe. thanks.

Heck no, I didn't grow it! Someday maybe.

i think she said that it spreads like mint, so you have to be careful when you plant it. I thought you might have some in that garden of yours.

When we move out of the 'burbs to the country we'll have a garden big enough to plant it.

d d. Aug 15, 2009, 11:49am EDT

are you moving anytime soon or just dreaming about a large garden?

Nope, it doesn't spread like mint. It stays in nice compact plants, does not spread at all.

thanks, maybe it was something else that she planted? that spreads like mint.

Looks good Shannon. I need to do a final picking off my plant and get it frozen. You should be able to plant one in the 'burbs' I live in the burbs...a corner of your garden will do.

This looks delicious. I am a very old lady and I have to confess that I have never in my life eaten anything with rhubarb in it. It's time I did. This evening I am driving a few of my friends grocery shopping and I think i shall purchase the necessary items and make this. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Oh, my gosh! Lee you have got to make rhubarb something! Make a rhubarb sauce and have it warm over vanilla ice cream. Tart and sweet!!

Lee P. Aug 15, 2009, 3:29pm EDT

Okay, I'll do that. It sounds sooo good.

Whoa this sounds fantastic. I can't wait until next year when my rhubarb is ready for eatin'. And I did get a little excited reading the comment about it spreading ... then was quickly let down when finding out it wasn't rhubarb that spreads. Dammit.

Can you freeze about half of this and bring it with you in November. We'll have to take a few panties and bras out of your luggage, but that should be ok, right?
