Hey, Dean: The only thing that stands between me and a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie is being able to get some rhubarb. I'm keeping my eye out for it at the suppermarket.

You realize fo course that rhubarb never tastes the same if you haven't pulled it out of the ground and rubbed the dirt off on your pants before eating it. I must have had a high fiber diet when I was a kid, pulling carrots, rhubarb, radishes and the rest out of the dirt and wipeing most of the dirt off. There's a growth industry for you. Sprinklers of dirt as a garnish on your vegetables. It improves the flavor and adds fiber.
