Rhubarb Crunch
Please tell me you know something about rhubarb. It is consumed in great quantities by people in my area. I've always been put off by the smell and the tart taste. It is currently in season. My mom had two bags from two different people. I have a theory it most grow like zucchini - an overabundance when it comes. She sent some home with me. It looks like celery and has strings. My mom also sent me with this recipe. Since I'm getting weighed and measured this week, I was able to refrain from eating all but a small bite, warm from the oven. Not bad.
