We are so pleased that we are able to open our patio; and we wish to thank all those who have called, not only to make reservations, but to share our excitement that we will be enjoying each other’s company again. Meanwhile, we still need to be mindful of Covid so that we don’t cause a return to greater restrictions.
If you don’t already know it from the profusion of rhubarb in your garden, it’s rhubarb season. The recipe below comes from our family and has been in circulation for many years. We hope that you will enjoy it.
