You didn't even know I was away, did you?
My aunt died over the winter, so we went to Victoria this week for the scattering of my aunt's ashes. I had a lovely time eating, catching up with relatives, and eating, and walking around the beautiful city of Victoria, and eating. Plus I seem to recall a whole bunch of eating. None of it pertinent to here, alas.
Even though I am back, you should expect posting to be sparse for the next week or so. I have a lot of work to catch up with, and I can tell already that there are going to be some major headaches.
On the plus side, my fridge is now thoroughly cleaned out, and ready to start a new season of food. We were out visiting some farmer friends today, and came back with a little asparagus and a whole lot of rhubarb.

- I've been cooking local food for over 30 years. Now I'm retired to the country and I'm going to try my hand at growing it too. Maybe raise chickens? Stay tuned...

If I had still be living at the house I would have heard your plane fly over when you passed over Kelowna:D
You must tell me where to find rhubarb - I've been going nuts trying to get some and to no avail. I had to resort to frozen - ugh..and double ugh.
Dear me, Giz; anyone who grows rhubarb is currently whacking it back with a machete and cursing. But as to buying it... well, I'd try farmer's markets. I have seen it at Zehr's (Loblaws) I'm pretty sure. I don't know what to say except keep looking! I know it's out there!
And Valli, I guess I missed something... I thought you were in Kelowna.
