What a difference a month makes


The rhubarb has really grown in the past month (see previous post) and I'm about to have the first picking of the season.

Mmmmmmmmm Joules, Dillon and I love rhubarb.

I made rhubarb crumble last week.
This week I can't because the rhubarb guy is only at the market every other week which means I have to have pear crumble for my Easter Roast lunch tomorrow. We have 8 or so people and a baby round for Sunday roast - I haven't done one in a while so wish me luck. I can only dream my roast potatoes will come out like yours. Do you think I should use a bit of bacon fat with the oil?
Fred said we should roast the baby but I though lamb might be better as it is Easter.

BTW rhubarb is mostly green in CA because it doesn't get cold enough for it to turn red. It has a twinge of red at the bottom of the stalk. It tastes te same though.

Oh some comments I wondered how long it would take for you both to notice my new blog. I know I prompted you beccy. Dad has literally just picked me some and I am off the cook it.

Sam I didn't realise it was the cold that turned it red.

sam your roasties will be superb I'm sure. I can't say about the bacon fat because I've never tried them that way but I'm sure it couldn't hurt.

Definitely the lamb Sam, I think the baby's parents might object!
