Rhubarb In MN
We do grow wonderful rhubarb here, my brothers and I ate the tender new stalks with salt, it was quite sour but we liked it and as Darlyne wrote, we did not have all the snacks or any of the ones available now. We also ate gooseberries, that grew on bushes in pastures, but I haven’t seen a bush for years. Maybe because we have no pastures around anymore, none of the farmers raise cattle here as you can make more profit from crops.
My favorite pie is rhubarb custard. This morning I made a pan of brownies for our Memorial Day service at the Legion Hall. A young pfc from Texas stationed at the Grand Forks Air Force base gave the talk and said he and his wife moved here in Feb. His little son told me they were moving back to Texas in Nov but he liked the snow and that he could read “chapter books”. He’s in second grade and seemed very bright.
