Rhubarb Custard Pie — just for you. It’s from Bubby’s Pies (in NYC), and sounds delicious. I’m going to make it too!

PS I’d wrap the extra rhubarb in a damp towel (or a plastic bag) and chill it if I were you.

Fresh Rhubard — try freezing pie mix

Mumzie,

My trick last weekend was simply making a rhubarb/strawberry pie mix. I kept some for putting on ice cream or cake right away and froze the rest. Easy to take out and make fresh pies or other treats..

Fresh rhubarb -- now what?!

My rhubarb plant finally hit the jackpot this year. I just went out and picked all the stocks (saving the huge luscious leaves for decorating the back porch). Do I need to refrigerate the rhubarb if I’m not going to use it immediately? Does anyone have a good traditional pie recipe for rhubarb?

I’m afraid that was

a 6:30 am non-sequitur. But then again, isn’t everything Barack these days? Even dinner?

Scambled eggs with pesto said my wife. And salsa, said I. How Barack, she replied.

kale

I sautéed a frizzy kale in evoo with leeks last night and then tossed it all with balsamic vinegar. Unfortunately, I didn’t make enough for us all to have seconds.

Caroline’s sopes

Guatemalan-Style Sopes were a huge hit with the whole family. Truly as much fun to make as to eat. I’m curious: Is masa harina considered a whole grain?

Granola with Rhubard/Strawberry topping

Seemed like a great variation for breakfast. Not quite what I expected. Should have just grabbed a bowl of ice cream for the topping (like last night).
;).

Mother’s Day Frittata

We made frittata for brunch yesterday. It was sooo yummy (and easy) I think I might make it again for dinner tonight.
