Mmmm, mom’s tangy rhubarb pie…I remember those too!

before she would make the pies mom would always tell us kids not to eat the pink “celery”..

Haha! Don’t eat the pink celery, that’s so cute! As in don’t drink the Coolaid!
I used to eat it raw, no sugar au naturel , I still do, makes me do funny faces :-) It grows profusely in my garden…

really?i thought it was mildly poisonous when raw..

I don’t know how this urban legend started, that’s why I made the Koolaid reference (oops, just noticed the I wrote it with a C). If I’m not mistaken, the leafy part is somewhat poisonous, that’s probably why people think the «celery part» is too. But I can assure you it is juicy and delicious raw, I’ve been eating it all my life and I still haven’t turn into a mutant, lol!

thanks for clearing that up…I shall give it a try..

Let me know what you think, but I warn you it is VERY tart, so what you can do is put sugar or a sweetener of your choice in a little cup and dip your stick (ugh, now that sounds funny, doesn’t it???)

haha
