Taking this bad boy into work tomorrow for my birthday. Rhubarb pie (no strawberries!). I never make it because my wife does not like rhubarb and I would end up eating at least half the pie. Also made a chocolate sponge cake that is really good for those whose don't like rhubarb.

Looks good, brother. Don't believe I've ever had rhubarb. I'd like to try it, though. [Reply]
Rhubarb is savory and intensely tart, with a texture similar to celery, only tougher. The structure breaks down completely after you add sugar and bake it. The pie is both sweet and tart with an undertone of stewed vegetables. Add a scoop of ice cream and there is nothing else like it. [Reply]

I really like Rhubarb and haven't had it in over 25 years sicne my grandmother died. She would make it.
I have a whole chicken. What should I do with it? I spatchcocked one last weekend and pan roasted it, so looking to do something different. Would like to spatchcock again, though, since I'm saving carcasses, backs, and necks for stock. [Reply]
