Interesting Vegetables

So I was at Rockridge Orchards' stand at the U-District Farmers' Market, contemplating their rhubarb fiercely. The woman who works there (I believe she's the owner's wife/co-owner) asked if she could help, and I said I was trying to decide between pie and cobbler. She suggested stir-fry; just add the rhubarb in as if it were a vegetable. Which it is, technically, and it's only used in desserts with a ton of sugar. So I got a few sticks, along with some raspberry apple cider made on Friday.

(Diversion: Empire Ice Cream is back! They have bacon and hazelnuts, chocolate, mint, brown sugar, and rhubarb-oolong sorbet. All are delicious.)

Today I got some mixed stir-fry frozen vegetables, along with some fake chicken strips and some stir-fry sauce, and threw diced rhubarb in there. It came out quite well. The rhubarb was tart and crunchy, and some chunks got soft and sweeter. It went very well with the crispy broccoli and snow peas and such.
