[recipe] Rhubarb Snack Cake ~ and comments

[Guest guest]

i just enjoyed reading my digests #804-808; see how behind i am!? *lol*

But all the talk about glorious rhubard brought back memories.

As a child i also ate the sour stalks raw and i also remember my

Grams warning me over and over not to eat the poisonous leaves ~

she also cautioned me not to eat too many raw stalks claiming

i would be stuck in the bathroom the next day if i ate too many!

 

Here is one of her best snack cake recipes she made every year

when the rhubarb was plentiful.

1/4 tsp. allspice

1/4 tsp. salt

something to do, something to love, and something

to hope for.
