mmm rhubarb

rhubarb is one of those things that not everyone likes, but i have great memories of eating rhubarb from my childhood. i'll always remember my sister and i sitting in my oma and opa's garden chewing on fresh stalks of rhubarb with a small bowl of sugar between us on a hot spring day.

since i no longer have a garden, i made a trip to my mother in laws place and gathered some fresh rhubarb. though i no longer sit and eat it raw, i do still enjoy the tartness of this giant leafy vegetable. in searching out recipes, i came across this one for rhubarb upside down cakes on the LCBO website. they are absolutely delicious! i froze half of the rhubarb and will probably make these again later when i need to be reminded of spring and family.
