Yes, that sounds like a lot but we split that with his mother. Tonight I get the *cough* honor of washing and cutting the stalks up for freezing. Once a month I will pull out a bad and make this wonderous recipe that I thought I would share. FYI, I normally double the crumb part so there is more to put on top. I have to be careful not to eat a lot of this because it will mess with my levels of coumadin. Rhubarb will actually drop my prothrombin time (blood clots faster) as do some other types of foods. But, with a little whipped cream or ice cream this is great stuff. I will also add a little orange zest to the top before adding the rest of the crumb topping. It adds a little sweetness without overpowering the rest of the flavors.
Rhubarb Crunch

We downloaded the new Halo 2 maps so the boys can play online while they are here. That took a little doing but it's completed. Tonight is clan night so I can play Call of Duty with the guys and the boys can get online and try and find someone to play Halo 2 with. No, we didn't get Crackdown for them or the Beta and I can't see spending that much money on a Beta. We will be getting Halo 3 when it comes out. I really have a generous brother. He is donating a month of gold so one of the boys can play online while they are here and we don't have to use up the 48 hour pass. Go Soup! Love ya, brother.
Would you rather
Go to a dinner that's much more snobbish, formal and fancy than you are used to
Or
one that's much rougher, cruder and earthier than you are used to?
Have a Great Holiday Weekend!!!!
Keep on Go!
