Home grown

We had lunch guests today so I was up early stuffing peppers and chopping vegetables before going to church.

Our first guests came laden with mangoes from Bangladesh and they obliged by educating me on the best way to prepare a mango for eating. (Simple when you know how).

Our second guest came with a bunch of rhubarb from her garden. I loved how she wrapped the fruit in newspaper to deliver to us.

Yesterday came unexpected flowers and today came unexpected produce to enjoy. We are truly blessed.

I love rhubarb and home grown is best. David is good at cutting and preparing mangoes for eating.

Unfortunately, I only have rhubarb from the bazaar. The newspaper packaging is old school. How many people still read the newspapers ...

How nice! If I didn't know any better, they look like flower stems. I do enjoy rhubarb/strawberry pie or jam...the only way I have tried it.

So what did you do with the rhubarb? Most folks I know turn it into pie- much like strawberry. I have a recipe that makes it into a sauce to pour on vanilla ice cream- yum! I do like the pov here- it anticipates the goodness to come!
