I'm from Northern Minnesota and your wonderful rhubarb recipes remind me of a Alabama lady that I met while traveling in the south . . . she asked me if everybody "up north" had a "rhubarb bush" in their backyard. She saw rhubarb in her supermarket and asked me for some recipes.
I like that we have rhubarb in the North, since the South has pecans and figs and many other yummy things that won't grow here. Kind of funny, near everyone does have a rhubarb bush, LOL!
