Transplant & Growing Rhubarb |Recipe Rhubarb Crisp!

I was over visiting a friend this past weekend and she gave me some fresh Rhubarb from her garden. I transplanted some and it’s growing but mine has yet to mature, I got this batch pictured below, from my Dad in Shelbrune, NS:

rhubarb crisp recipe I got enough from my friend Jenny, to make a rhubarb crisp! I used my own recipe sorta, but I also followed this one a bit http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Rhubarb-Crunch/Detail.aspx
My changes:

  • 3 cups diced rhubarb
  • 1 cup white sugar (Perfect if you do not mind tart!)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (did not use at all)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

    • Chinese buy generic levitra Herbal Medicine maintains taste and effect.

  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (used 1 cup!)

    • I also added a bit of water, cinnamon and ate this with ice creme:) It was great! If you do not like mega tart I would suggest using more sugar on the rhubarb.

    Mike(the bf) and Amy both liked it 🙂

    Did you know?
    Do not eat the rhubarb leaves or roots as they contain oxalic acid which is poisonous. Was researching how to grow it, and I had no clue on this one!

    Baby Yellow Duck!

    So the other day me and Mike were outside playing in the garden and feeding the ducks and up from our back pond comes a little baby duck! My first comment was, “oh look Sweetie, the duck adopted a baby chicken”, lol. I was tired, and I had never seen a duck this young before but MAN he’s a cutie!

    Mother and Baby Duck Yellow Fuzzy CuteI just want to pick him up and hold him, but, some sad news today. I was looking out my window last night and I saw the neighborhood cat carrying this little yellow ball of cuteness in his mouth:( I couldn’t get outside in time but thankfully my neighbor (who I now know as The cat’s owner) saved the little duck and put the cat inside. I totally get it’s natural instinct for the cat and I don’t blame him, to him the ducking is his caviar! lol But still! The duckling was alone for a while in the pond, and I am considering catching it, and feeding it, the mother is no where’s in sight. I do not know if the baby duck is still around, but if it is! I want to keep him!

    I did a bit of research on keeping a baby duck and here is what I have found:

    1. Provide a heat lamp in an area with enough room for the duckling to move away from the heat if needed. New ducklings need a temperature of 85 to 90 F. with the temperature lowered 5 degrees each week. You’ll have to guess at its age.

      2. As this body chemical has been seized during the developing swellings in lungs and causes the muscles around the airways to be stiffen resulting high degree difficulty in breathing therefore the control over its mechanism is required in order to bring those buy levitra viagra functions back into balance with the help of nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic medications, and dietary or lifestyle changes. Some of these medicines are available over the counter and they don’t need prescriptions like Adderrall or Adderral does. buy cialis overnight Most levitra generika natural products are made of powerful herbal ingredients and natural aphrodisiacs. Headache is caused by the opening of the arteries in http://www.unica-web.com/ENGLISH/2017/unica-jury.html viagra canada samples the brain owing to the inhibition of PDE-5.

    2.  If a ‘duck and goose’ starter feed isn’t available then the duckling can have ‘unmedicated’ chick starter with some brewer’s yeast added (to meet a duckling’s need for extra niacin). A ‘grower’ feed would also suffice since the starter should only be used for the first 2-3 weeks.
    3. Ducklings also need greens–chopped tender grass, dandelions, clover, cabbage, lettuce, etc. Also provide some fine grit.
    4. Some pine wood shavings for bedding
    5. You probably don’t want to hear this but, a lone duck is an unhappy someone had suggested to put a mirror in with them.  

    A few other suggestions were getting duck diapers and feeding them eggs, I think I’ll pass on those 2 for now! lol
