Gluten-Free Rhubarb Scones with a Pink Lemonade Glaze

And just like that, the morning after a week confined to a rain-smothered earth.. we’re roused by the weak but determined rays of sun breaking through the cloudy morning skies. Fragrant wet grass breathes as we celebrate.. the last of the rain moving off into the distance by the cool wind’s gentle nudging of clouds. […]

♥ Some of you “long time” friends might remember my post this summer about making Pizza with my friend “Jane”. Well, we decided to invite Jane and Marty over for dinner this weekend.

Oh… Streusel Crumbs!

today’s word impulse “crumbs” ♥ began when juicy spring splashy rain transmogrified itself into a cotton-candy-torn, cavorting, wild snow-globe dance… spinning out of a sky-grinding snow-cone machine ♥ i know.. it was beautiful… but all I could think was… “oh crumbs” another spring set-back ♥ and i’ve been searching everywhere (and i mean everywhere) for […]

the rhubarb patch ~ Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

Barbara Bamber — Wed, 25 May 2011 22:38:08 +0000

And so it is Spring… and along with it comes cold memories of rain, sun dresses, knee socks and skinned knees, more rain, “fruits and vegetables” hop scotch, double dutch skipping and, of course, rain staying out until the lights came on! When feeling particularly bored and mischievous, our gang would clamber up and walk the neighborhood […]
