I agree that rhubarb can be red or green and is fine to eat. My MIL feels green rhubarb doesn't look right and will actually use red food colouring in pies/crisps if her rhubarb is too green!

[jmh123]

don't think I've ever had the pleasuring of tasting rhubarb.

I was just thinking the same thing. (Maybe not the pleasure part--but y'all are making it sound good.)

[luckiest1]

Hee, it's an acquired taste. It's very, very tart so it needs lots of sweetening to be palatable. But there's nothing else like it!

My Grandma always made rhubarb pie and so did my Mom...it was my Dad's favorite...you do have to put a lot of sugar in though because rhubarb is very tart.

Rhubarb and strawberry pie mmmm so good, rhubarb and strawberry crisp with vanilla ice cream. Oh yeah!

Lotus is starting to salivate!

Right now I am struggling to set up the netbook I bought yesterday and I am going nuts. I've already called my internet service support person 3 times and am about to call again.

I cannot get the wireless to work and now I'm wondering if my router is just outdated. Hell's Teeth this is so frustrating!

ps- There's very very few food-things in the world I don't like- but rhubarb is one of them , too bitter for me. sorry.

But I ..hear its good for you. Maybe I never tasted it well made. Convince me to try it again. :1:

Found out some very sad news this evening, a nurse that worked at my hospital and that I had supper with most evenings when we worked at the cafeteria, died last evening after a seizure, she was 24 years old. We are all in a state of shock. She was such a sweet girl, made me laugh a lot, loved teasing me about my fandom of Clay. So I'm mourning tonight!!!

Oh my goodness, how tragic. My condolences to you, {{{preden}}}, and to her family.

My condolences preden....

My Mom always made rhubarb-strawberry preserves -- fantastic on toast. I also like a good rhubarb pie, but I'm not a pie maker, so I have to get it in a restaurant.

Time for some decoration...

[FearofH2O]

Sorry preden! So young.

Live your life, have fun and do good.

couchie, congratulations to your nephew, future baseball star.

I'm so sorry. So unexpected!

Couchie -- congrats to your team!!

[preden]

Thank you! I'm so glad I found out tonight instead of Monday evening when I go back to work, it would be hard to take care of my patients if I heard the news at the beginning of my shift. Everyone is in shock. She will be greatly missed. She was always in a good mood and made us laugh.

[liney23]

{{{{{preden}}}}} It seems harder when they are so young!

couchie... congrats to you and your nephew and your whole family!

ldyj... YUM!!! Thanks for the pics of the cutesingerman that we are all missing!

I've been reading the last 10 pages and I've tried to save some of the animations posted and all that I get when I save them is stills. When I right click on them, they show "untitled" and I've noticed that they are in .bmp format vs being in .gif format.

Here's what I got when I tried to save one bmp animation:

I'm confused as to how these .bmp files would even show up as animations. I thought that animations would always be .gif files?

Ideas?

[jmh123]

I've had that happen to me 2 or 3 times. Try this:

Good morning. Another busy day. I dropped a hint to my husband that maybe we should go to Raleigh tonight to see Elvis C. I didn't get a good reception. It is a two hour drive. We both enjoy Elvis but we have too much work to do on that other house.

I need an enabler.

[jmh123]

I'm in Raleigh today, but I'm mom sitting.

[liney23]

I have a new morning ritual... I google Clay Aiken, then I hit and watch the When A Man Loves A Woman montage, then I hit the back button and find Finding Clay Aiken and here I am. I love that montage and want it to stay in the forefront when you google Clay Aiken.

{{{jmh and fear}}}

Couchie, congratulations to couch-nephew!!! What a thrill that must have been!

{{{preden}}}

liney, Thanks very much! However, I think it was Permaswooned's flower that was posted recently. And if it's my avatar, the rose also came from Permaswooned!

I've never had rhubarb pie but I hear the "House of Pies" here makes a great strawberry-rhubarb one. Y'all make me want to try it. *rubs tummy*
