What is normally a dollar at your local grocery store is three times as much at mine.http://www.liloia.com/archives/#001882 Rhubarb Crisp- (Found June 29, 2008 ) I thought I had rhubarb in my garden, but I have nothing compared to our neighbor Neil. I found some spindly little red stalks with broad leaves poking out of a woodpile last year and determined (via Google) that they were rhubarb (which I love). I harvested just enough to make a pie and I rearranged the wood pile to give them more room to grow. This year, the stalks are more robust and I might be able to get two pies from them.

You hear the wail, and it means: Something Very Bad is happening, but we can't tell you where, when, or what. Enjoy! I mention it because during this week's severe weather, I heard one of the aforementioned sirens going off across the lake in New York. I had no idea what it specifically meant.

I have an idea for a rack of dowels on the wall to store these babies.http://www.liloia.com/archives/#001868 |
