getting back into the swing of things. putting spoon to mouth.
I’ve been last minuting things a lot lately. I didn’t want to do it for May’s edition of Tigress’ Can Jam. I wanted to be able to take my time. Experiment a little. You know, breathe.
Glad I did. The Barb was all I could see when I read Sarah’s post announcing May’s special guest star(s). Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Asparagus and Rhubarb.
I thought this would be the best opportunity to rewrite a childhood memory. It was summer. Montréal. Someone offered/forced Rhubarb pie. I didn’t understand. It looked like red celery. Celery + Pie = Nah, not really. It never had the chance to be good, let alone great.
Off I went on my red stalk adventure. Why did it take a week and numerous attempts to get my hands on freaking Rhubarb?!!!!? See, I don’t even know how local it is. I got it from Ralphs. The Ralphs that kinda wants to be a Whole Foods.
Yes, it’s early. I’m still not sure which is going to star in the R&C: TCJ Show next week. I do know that I like the barb in my berry barb jam. Really, I like it lots.
This was just one of those throw it in the pot things. Based loosely on Anne V. Nelson, again. Strawberry Rhubarb Jam with a bit of my new obsession to Nikki-fy it. (♥:Nothing compares to you, Blackberries.)
Back to work. What should I do now, more barb or a bit of the gus? Have you decided which will get your full attention? Will you be ambitious and do both?
Nikki♥
