Rhubarb
« on: May 10, 2011, 07:57:09 »
Cooked up some rhubarb from the allotment yesterday and it had some really strong strings in it. I thought that somehow the bristles of my pastry brush had dropped in it.Never had this happen before.Maybe the dry weather?
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Not problem at the moment but this will help me remember to keep watering it.
