This time I stayed in the kitchen when I made the rhubarb ”stew”. It was tart, tasteless and watery. I was quite disappointed.
The rhubarb upside-down cake was much better. I'll have to try to find another rhubarb cake recipe because it seemed such a waste when the melted margarine and brown sugar stayed on the dish. It wasn't easy to scrape it off.I was so pleased with myself when I got home from the store and realized that I had walked down the chip aisle and hadn't even looked at them. The only problem is that now I can't think of eating anything else! I wonder how the different grocery store chains decide on how to organize their stores. There are four grocery stores near by. One store has their chips across from tinned and jarred goods, another frozen pizzas and breads, another juices and the last frozen vegetables.

The following is a recipe for a rhustic rhubarb cake we enjoy, I cut the sugar by adding stevia extract powder as I list below in the recipe... it also very low in fat.
