Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I don't see the slime that usually comes with snails, so I am wondering what other critters might be liking the rhubarb leaves so much. I had snail devour my mums last night. Ever notice how the snail slime looks like unicorn blood on the Harry Potter movie? *lol* ~ PT ~ What matters today is not the difference between those who believe and those who do not believe, but the difference between those who care and those who don't. ~ Abbe Pire ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~> , Sant & Brown <santbrown@l...> wrote: > I trust you mean little six-legged or no-legged critters ;=) Otherwise > you're going to have to do a Sherlock Holmes and take fingernail > clippings to test for arsenic in order to find your culprit - dead or alive.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yes, Donna. You are teasing tonight about the recipes you have!!! giggle!! Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - genny_y2k Wednesday, August 09, 2006 12:03 AM Rhubarb A great Spring/early Summer 'tonic'. As children we always ate Rhubarb raw. New stalks are tender and do not need to be peeled. I usuall peel older larger stalks. A friend just brought some Rhubarb sauce to a picnic yesterday. He sweetened his with honey instead of sugar and it was very good. Rhubarb leave are poison. My sister-in-law makes a delicious Rhubarb custard pie and I have the recipe somewhere if anyone would like it.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 You are correct. Acid is the opposite of base.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I would imagine if it is good with honey a vegan alternative or just another alternative would be maple syrup. I am gonna try it. hugs, Chanda - Rise Houen Wednesday, August 09, 2006 8:45 AM Re: Rhubarb Hi Deanna !! Thanx for the tip about honey !!! Never thought of that ....sounds great !!!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 This month's cooking light magazine has a rhubarb section for anyone interested. I don't know if you can get to it from the site, but it might be worth looking at in the store. Amy **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
