Although I'm no fan of rhubarb, this is some of your best writing. I saw you and the dogs in the tight closet and felt the anxiety and final relief

Oh sorry! In my case, it's in the full sun though it starts the day in shade. I know in my previous homes, it got a mix of both sun and shade. I was thinking Tulsa might possibly be too hot so I did a quick search and it seems there are types bread for your temps. I would go to a nursery and find out.

Your prose is positively poetic and a delight to read, Chef! I loved reading about your nightly experience and rhubarb is such a delicious veg. I am pleased as punch the one I planted last year (in a pot, no less) has returned! Yay! Still not enough to make this purée and drink but it will be in no time. Thank you so much for a delightful drink (and read)!
