It i...YAY!... because I have rhubarb in the garden. It is only just hanging in there with the extreme heat we've been having... but it still there... just. Cordial sounds brilliant.<br />I always love looking through old publications. It really does give us an insight into the daily lives of the women who came before us.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131518522010494497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-5100739101629321612012-01-29T09:35:29.493+11:002012-01-29T09:35:29.493+11:00400 strokes, sounds like something a convict would...400 strokes, sounds like something a convict would get for stealing the cake itself, hehe...<br /><br />Didn't you go on a wonderful little journey and all because of rhubarb.......<br /><br />Now I might see if I can find some Sheltox Tanya, as it actually 'saves you work', which has got to be a good thing!!

Today I came...What a blast from the past for sure. Today I came across a cough syrup recipe from the 1887 edition of The White House Cookbook (as in where the President of the USA lives) .. a great 'time capsule' type of book. The syrup called for using opium :) .. some home health remedies included ingesting and applying turpentine as well. <br /><br />My favorite way to 'stew' rhubarb is to chop, cover with water, add sugar .. bring to a boil .. turn off the heat and cover with a lid. It keeps its shape and doesn't turn to mush. Just serve warm or cool. Our rhubarb is always the first thing that comes to life in the early spring. Two more months and counting (until spring).Mrs. Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644129213141875138noreply@blogger.com
