My first rhubarb dessert

I have never cooked with rhubarb, so this galette was a first.  A Betty Crocker recipe with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Box crust as my case of shingles is just bad enough to prevent me from doing my normal crust.  The recipe needed a bit of adjustment as the frozen rhubarb created too much juice for the crust.  Thanks to the Carpenter Farm friends, Ron and Sally for the fresh rhubarb from their yard in Three Rivers.  Oh and it was yummy, not too sweet not too tart.  I will be experimenting with the rest of the frozen fruit in the fridge.

Here is the best of Michigan 2016

Lilac from my yard.

Dried Cherries from a local farm.  The owners sing and play organ in my church, St. Anne's.



Second favorite smell and flower, from my yard, Lily of the Valley

Yes we grow asparagus in MI.  Grilled or not, wonderful.
