Not even my mom's mom, who canned her own pickles/green beans/tomatoes/corn, and dished up boiled turnips, and cut her greens right out of the yard then drizzled them with bacon grease, and refereed the fights between me and my cousin over who got to eat the cabbage core.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-27160688301013620472016-04-28T11:52:43.743+01:002016-04-28T11:52:43.743+01:00Hi Sarah!

I bet your Mum will be delighted :) What a thing to happen though, both the ankle and knee - eeew, painful. Hope she progresses well.<br /><br />The one thing that grows like wildfire here in our garden is the rhubarb patch. So much so that I have to freeze a lot of it - and your chopping tip is a great one as I do wash, dry and then chop the stuff before freezing it. The 'Timperley Early' is going berserk this year - I can see a machete being needed if it carries on. Rhubarb is fabulous lightly stewed and used in place of apple sauce with roast pork. Unless you're a vegetarian of course. Rhubarb and strawbery jam is yummy - a match made in heaven!<br /><br />Di xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-73595340169571312072016-04-28T09:38:12.008+01:002016-04-28T09:38:12.008+01:00Thank you Polly, it's going to be a bit of a l...Thank you Polly, it's going to be a bit of a long haul mending that ankle and kee but medically she's doing well. They DO look care free don't they, I really hope she remembers her friend and having the photo taken.<br /><br />I LOVE rhubarb and crumble and when I'd combined it with the apple there was enough to make a couple of crumbles for other people too. I saw that video, looks like the potato trick works but I'm still not convinced I could hadle a hot potato! xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-91002115485156479792016-04-27T20:48:17.749+01:002016-04-27T20:48:17.749+01:00I’m very sorry to hear about your mum Sarah, I hop...I’m very sorry to hear about your mum Sarah, I hope she gets well soon. That is such a beautiful photograph, memories of a carefree time for your mum and her friend, I’m sure she will love it. <br />What a coincidence about rhubarb, just the other day my neighbour said I could help myself to her rhubarb on her allotment, I will be making a crumble or a pie sometime next week. I will cut it on its side. I saw a video about potatoes, it looked pretty good, I haven’t tried it yet though xPollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-3009514939723346492016-04-27T09:47:25.189+01:002016-04-27T09:47:25.189+01:00I think she will Debs, I'm not sure she has ma...I think she will Debs, I'm not sure she has many photos of herself when she was young. I'm hoping she remembers her friend who is only named as Hannah in the photo. I only discovered the rhubarb thing yesterday, as tips go it's not really much of one but I have great hopes that my pepper chopping tip will transform lives ;-)<br /><br />You are welcome Sarn ;-) Can't beat a good chopping tip I always say! Mum is doing ok and it's just a question of time as she heals but she seems quite content so we are lucky. I'm so pleased with the photo, I just have to get it ordered now and frame it xx<br /><br />It's lovely isn't it Joe? What I really love it that nothing has changed, that view is exactly the same today as it was when Mum was 11.<br /><br />Mum has been moved Val (post on that later). I think the photo is pretty perfect too. I expect lots of people know the onion trick but for those who don't it might be helpful. Do you REALLY not know rhubarb? Is it one of those things you don't see there or just not something you like? I love the stuff, it's like the first taste of Summer!<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-87012942456123695982016-04-27T01:33:49.571+01:002016-04-27T01:33:49.571+01:00That IS the perfect gift!

I wouldn't know rhubarb if it bit me on the butt. But if it DID...well...then we'd be in a bit of a rhubarb!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-78624422041818292612016-04-26T21:28:04.032+01:002016-04-26T21:28:04.032+01:00That is an amazing find!That is an amazing find!joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-5513376082840724802016-04-26T18:52:28.822+01:002016-04-26T18:52:28.822+01:00Thanks for the chopping tips!!!!
