Rhubarb Monster

I love sweets. Chocolate is my weakness, but I can enjoy pretty much any sweet under the sun (which is probably why I can't seem to lose the rest of this "baby" weight). There are a few seasonal goodies that I cannot resist and it upsets me when their season has passed knowing that I'll have to wait an entire year before I can enjoy them again. Seriously, I get emotional about my sweets. You can ask my husband who made the mistake of taking my last bite of dessert once. Most of my favorite goodies can be made anytime of year, but some are limited to our short summers. One such dessert: rhubarb cobbler. I don't know what exactly happens to me each summer, but it has something to do with rhubarb and sugar and the oven. I turn into this rhubarb hungry monster. I've actually caught myself coveting my neighbors humongous rhubarb plants. I'm pretty sure she caught me too because each summer she has brought over a big bag of rhubarb for me. Love her for that! When we moved into our house we discovered two rhubarb plants that were fair in size. Typically I can harvest 8-10 cups of rhubarb from them, which you would think is plenty for our small family. But if you had ever tasted my grandma's recipes for rhubarb cake and cobbler, you would know that there can never be enough rhubarb. So thanks to my sweet neighbor across the street who shares and doesn't judge me for coveting her plants. Don't worry...I brought her some rhubarb cobbler. I'd bring you some too if you would share your rhubarb with me, but you haven't.
