The Beginning

I've been considering a food blog for some time, because I love to cook and love to eat and enjoy the fellowship that comes with sharing recipes, techniques and ideas. As with any new endeavor, I've come up with many excuses to postpone it - I haven't enough time, my photography is lousy, my kitchen is too small, etc. But it feels like the time is right, so ... here we go.

Why the rhubarb chronicles? I have a certain affinity for rhubarb. It grows like a weed around coastal Alaska and my family had rhubarb patches in Haines and Kodiak. People who grow rhubarb tend to have a lot of it and they offer it up to neighbors, or to strangers passing by, or to friends on Facebook. And the characteristics of rhubarb seem to be in line with my cooking: earnest and unsophisticated, colorful, abundant and local.
