First rhubarb.......

Picked my first rhubarb of the season on Monday.

Had some strawberries, so stewed them with the rhubarb, added some sweetener.

Stewed rhubarb and strawberries............

Perfect with plain yogurt or sugar free pudding...........

Also perfect start to the Summer season.........

What do you do when it's hot and humid outside?

Well of course I decided to bake......as why not....LOL

I picked some rhubarb the other day and hadn't gotten around to using it, so decided to use some in the rhubarb cake,  I used this recipe.

I had to use up the rest of the leeks, so made a leek and smoked cheese quiche.

While the quiche was cooking I popped in some potatoes to make roasted potatoes which I coated in balsamic vinaigrette.

Supper was quiche, potatoes and salad.  With a piece of rhubarb cake for pudding.  It was yummy!

Attention all cat lovers, have a question for you

Dd has a two year old cat, Olive.

On Saturday they got a four month old kitten called Rhubarb, cute isn't she?

She was told not to introduce the two cats to one another straight away.  So she has Rhubarb in the bathroom, with her toys, litter, food and bed.  Olive meanwhile has the run of the condo like normal other than going into the bathroom.  Dd gave Olive, Rhubarb's blanket to sniff, to get used to Rhubarb's scent. 

She was also told to introduce Rhubarb to Olive slowly around 4 days by opening the bathroom door slightly, so they can see one another, but Olive can't get into the bathroom, and Rhubarb can't get out.   Is there anything else she should be doing?

I did my first reading at church on Sunday I read this passage from Amos 7:7-17  I hope I haven't to do it again for quite some time!!!  I have orders for 114 recpe books and there is still a couple of weeks to go.  I picked up the illustrations for inside of the book on Sunday and am pleased with how they look.  Just have to get them scanned and then can give them back to the artist.    I am on schedule to get the book emailed to the publisher by the last week of July..YEAH!!!

Have a super week, it's going to be a hot one for us again, fingers crossed the central air guys come by and finish the installation.  Otherwise I am going to be in for another miserable week.
