DiBear--if more people made small changes like you are doing, the world would be a much better place. One thing about the rhubarb--you know not to eat the leaves, right? Just thought I'd reiterate that point.

I picked my last harvest of winter collards today. I'm going to saute them in olive oil and garlic tonight. Tasty!

Hm . . . never thought about eating the leaves. I'm learning how to use rhubarb from a friend who makes a killer strawberry-rhubarb crisp. I didn't eat last year's rhubarb cuz I didn't know what to do with it. I'll stick with leaf lettuce for leaves.

I think this is typically southern fare. I've never seen it served way up here . . . I've never seen it served, except on an episode of "Good Eats."

Rhubarb leaves are toxic. Don't eat them. Use only the stalks. Strawberry-rhubarb crisp (and pie) is delicious, but requires a lot of sugar, since rhubarb is tart, to say the least.
