Now that I have given up sugary treats, the rhubarb crumble gets past this mental block and looks very tasty.

Sometimes he's eating it during the show, but not right now.<br /><br />There's rhubarb in my garden, but the stems are still very short, and growing frustratingly slowly! For added indulgence, cook the rhubarb in a little sweet wine, such as mead or madeira, or possibly other wines beginning with 'm'.<br /><br />Unfortunately, my man doesn't like crumble, or possibly does like crumble but doesn't like stewed fruit. Either way, I'm just going to have to eat it all myself ;-) Equally unfortunately, he does like brownies.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-7356324025807597452011-03-24T13:57:22.882-07:002011-03-24T13:57:22.882-07:00mmm crumble.

We also had crumble today, plum and pear but I make a flapjacky topping, with oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, a bit of sugar maybe some mixed fruit and nuts (whatever I have hanging around..) and a bit of marg mixed up and pressed on top.

It was a price worth paying.<br />See the food drew me out again - I am, essentially, greedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-78296059883014431982011-03-24T13:39:46.293-07:002011-03-24T13:39:46.293-07:00I used to share a house with several other vegetar...I used to share a house with several other vegetarians, and one of them used to make a mean vegetable crumble. I think the recipe was in the original Cranks cookery book (which means I must have it somewhere in the house...). Mmmm. But given a choice I'd prefer rhubarb. Or gooseberry. Or cherry.
