First Harvest
Today was a beautiful spring day. I stayed inside for the most part like a good girl to finish up some work, but I did venture outside for just long enough to see that the rhubarb was big enough to pick. We have a HUGE patch of it (probably could use a good splitting) and several of the stocks finally reached 12- 14" so I picked away.
I took just enough to make this dessert that I spotted in the May 2008 issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. We already had everything on hand so it was a really quick mix up. And let me tell you... YUM. They are super sweet and sugary, so small pieces is a must... but they are soooo good. I love things with oats in them and the rhubarb is perfect. Tart!
Taking the first harvest from our garden was really fun. It has me dreaming of all the other fresh goodness that is just around the corner.

Oh, man, I love me some rhubarb. I always wish I could make rhubarb cobbler for my birthday, but it's in December, and I never remember to get some frozen rhub. from my mom.
