Every year around this time, the rhubarb plant is ready to be picked and eaten.
One of my co-workers has a garden full of rhubarb and brings a ton in to share with everyone and then we have a Rhubarb Potluck. This is a potluck beyond a dessert-lovers dream (if you like tart rhubarb, that is!). This year I finally got around to documenting all of the desserts my colleagues bring in. I think there were 25-30 different desserts/dishes all containing rhubarb. I did not try everything, but will share with you my two absolute favorites.
Rhubarb Cheesecake- to die for!!!
Rhubarb Angel Dessert- This one had a merengue topping on top of a sweet-tart rhubarb filling. WOW. They must call this one angel dessert because it is truly heavenly!
This is the plate of what I tried:
I am not going to post ALL of the rhubarb desserts here on the blog, but I do have an album of all the desserts here if you would like to take a peek!
Wow!What a totally wonderful idea!!!

Seeing rhubarb reminds me of my grandpa. He used to make it in his garden and we would pick it, clean it , and eat it with sugar. :P Its probably been 10 years since we've done that. 9 years since he's been gone.
Thanks for the memory! :)

That's a lot of foods with rhubarb. I haven't decided if I like rhubarb or not.
