Dori's site has a whole page dedicated to rhubarb today.<BR/><BR/>Julie, never fear... sweets are always here! (and I emailed you).<BR/><BR/>Raising Kahne, thanks for the comments and glad to see a "new" comment around here, thanks! I hope you check back again.<BR/><BR/>Teresa, the quinoa is definitely a hidden treasure in this dish! It's so soft and nutritious and mixes great with the lentils. Did you ever try quinoa patties?<BR/><BR/>Crystal, I'll probably go with the sauce. I am not brave enough yet to just eat it plain! Thanks for commenting.<BR/><BR/>Shawn, you must try this version! It's so much healthier and just remember to add a bit more sauce and spices because the quinoa sucks it all up. Tell me how yours comes out. I love those curly tails too!<BR/><BR/>Kai, I have faith in your family's taste buds that quinoa in the lenties will be a success over there! Tell me how you like it (or not). <BR/><BR/>Dreena, I'm probably going with the sauce. I need to get my butt in gear with this rhubarb stuff! Thanks for your comments and I also emailed you about the jewelry, sorry it took me an eternity.<BR/><BR/>Becky, I think I have that recipe (well, I gave the newest VT issue to my boss to borrow before I looked at it) and thanks for the reminder about the recipe. As always, thanks for visiting and your comments too. <BR/><BR/>Achira, I do sell my jewelry, unfortunately many of these photos were older and that frog keychain is already sold. If you are near Tempe it may still be for sale over at the co-op. Otherwise, feel free to leave a comment with your email (I won't publish it to the world) and I can email you back with more details. I have many "animal" pendant/shapes but also a lot of other jewerly. What do you have in mind besides?<BR/><BR/>Creative Kimset, you are so funny about the Mary Janes. Around my birthday (March 28) my boyfriend found some right down the street from where I work! The Mary Janes have been there the whole time but it's a great thing that I didn't know because I'd be really unhealthy and huge and full of partially hydrogenated soybean oil. He did put some MJ's in my birthday basket and every once in a while will bring a few home. Thanks for the Cost Plus tip, I also saw them at Michael's Crafts. At the store near me they are 5 cents each, which means 20 of them is more than enough and only a buck.<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for your comments!Eat Peace Pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754499534650636430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1147210563383030782006-05-09T14:36:00.000-07:002006-05-09T14:36:00.000-07:00For non baked, I have a rhubarb chutney on my blog...For non baked, I have a rhubarb chutney on my blog right now. Otherwise with non-baked rhubarb I am a smoothie fan, it can be cut into small chunks and frozen, combined with a sweet spritzer, 1/2 an orange...sweetener). I also like to make it into a sweet sauce and serve it over pancakes/ waffles.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001818777096357255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1147209106102503892006-05-09T14:11:00.000-07:002006-05-09T14:11:00.000-07:00Yummy!

I just saw some at my local Cost Plus World Market. 6oz bag for $1.50. Maybe you could try there? They have one in Tempe right? Anyway, just thought you'd like to know.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273644516005784423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1147202774466785912006-05-09T12:26:00.000-07:002006-05-09T12:26:00.000-07:00Nice photos!

Just picked up a bunch from my mom - yum!<BR/><BR/>Too bad I read this after I was at the Living Green Expo - they were selling rhubarb cookbooks! I flipped through it and they suggest using it as a sauce for main meat dishes...could probably use it over grilled tofu. All the rest of the recipes were pies, cakes, muffins, etc.<BR/><BR/>Here's a suggestion too...cut it up small, cook it with some juice and a little sweetener if desired in a saucepan. Serve over soy ice cream with a bit of granola.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1147107053935371052006-05-08T09:50:00.000-07:002006-05-08T09:50:00.000-07:00I tried quinoa for my ridiculously omni family ove...I tried quinoa for my ridiculously omni family over spring break, and didn't get quite the reaction I was hoping for. They were too skeptical and just don't like trying new things (or admitting that they like non-meat dishes). I think that your genious sloppy quinoa/lentils just might be the trick to get them to appreciate quinoa and vegetarianism. Thanks so much- it looks delicious and I'm excited to try it. Sorry I've never had rhubarb so I don't have any ideas for you.<BR/><BR/>-TeresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1147106403307984402006-05-08T09:40:00.000-07:002006-05-08T09:40:00.000-07:00So healthy, Leslie!

You basically chop up and cook down a bunch of rhubarb and some water with a LOT of sugar until it is creamy and gooey like applesauce. I ate a lot of rhubarb sauce growing up -- we had a bunch of rhubarb in the backyard. You could search on the web for dessert sauces that use rhubarb if you want exact measurements, because I can't offer you any!

My mom used to make a cobbler type dish with it if that's any help to give you an idea. She also used to stew it on the stove and eat it cold in a bowl kinda like applesauce.
