Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all
Seems I like blogging or that I have to relate some good things that have happened to us since we toasted the new year, danced around our living room & sang Auld Land Syne.We had a great meal on this, the first day of 2008. Had Kate, Jason & boys for dinner. Then a few days later had another visit with Jordan, Charla, Oliver jr. This time we took a pix which we are posting. Charla couldn't eat enough of our rhubarb sauce so i am enclosing my 'secret'recipe (made Grannie-style) Throw in rhubarb in a steel pot, add strawberries, crushed pineapple with juice,add sugar to taste and gently cook. When tender, mash, adjust sugar content & add at the end of cooking a package of strawberry jello ( this 'binds' the sauce together so it is not runny) How much of fruit? I usually put in a large zipper freezer bag of rhubarb, then a medium bag of strawberries & a can of crushed pineapple, a small package of strawberry jello. Serve on vanilla ice cream - you will get oohs & ahhs. I have served this innumerable occasions to people with varying taste buds & have never ever not had compliments. Simple to make, but a real gourmet dessert, especially when served with an oatmeal cookie.e-n-j-o-y!! If you don't have rhubarb in your place of residence, visit me, we'll raid Uncle Hu's garden!!
Again' Happy New Year
Love to all
