The other day I noticed a note by the phone at work that look suspiciously like a Whitehorse shopping list. As an experiment, I penciled in ‘pineapple’ at the bottom of the list. When I came in to work last night, there was a pineapple waiting for me by the computer. Aw, they love me. 😀 (Pineapples are currently $7 in Dawson and nowhere near as pretty as the one I got from Whitehorse!)

Today, some customers offered me rhubarb. I accepted, imagining that they’d hand me a couple of stalks. Instead, I was the recipient of a ginormous pile of the stuff that I’m told was twice that size before other people helped themselves to it! I don’t have much experience in cooking up rhubarb other than as a filler in pie or muffins, so I think I’ll just stew up the whole lot with some apple and make a compote to serve over yoghurt or granola. I’m sure it’ll freeze well. Rhubarb is one of those things that I don’t think about until it’s in front of me. I don’t even know if I like it or just tolerate it or what. I’ll have an answer to that in about an hour, once I’m done peeling and chopping the suckers!
