I hope the little page navigation squares expand when you get to fatter numbers like 220. They're looking pretty squished at 115.
 
Hmmm okay, there's a number of things I can't eat that surprise people as well. Am just coming around to avacado after refusing to eat it for years.
I use to hate avocado as a kid, but since I started making my own guacamole, or seasoning it lightly when I use it on a sandwich, I've found I like it.

Most of the time though it tends to be bland or if its started to turn... :sick:.

Jeff has been marinating a leg of lamb in red wine, garlic, rosemary and other bits for 24 hours, he is going to cook that up, will get a pic of that later and of the pie once it is cut.

When can I expect my pie to be here :D.
 
OOHHHH yum I love lamb!

Never had apple rhubarb pie. But strawberry rhubarb pie is excellent!

I have never made apple rhubarb pie before, in fact I have never cooked rhubarb in my life, as I hated it as a kid, it was always overcooked, and my mother has a horror of sugar, so it was never sweet... basically imagine slimey bitter acidic string.. and that was my experience of rhubarb LOL

But I recently saw a cooking show episode where they baked the rhubarb instead of boiling it, and it looked so lovely, I was in the Green grocers yesterday and they had some nice looking rhubarb so I thought I would give it a go.. I have to say baked - but not overcooked, still holding it's shape, with some sugar it was delicious before it went into the pie with the apples, I hope it will be good in the pie too!

Will let you know what it's like :)
 
I have always half-boiled my rhubarb, then sweetened it and baked til just beginning to soften. I then took it out of the oven and let it cool while putting my pie together.
It finishes cooking with the pie, and the sugar combined with the sweetness in the apples gives it just the right taste. Not to tart, not too sweet.
I use brown sugar to sweeten the rhubarb, btw.
