More Rhubarb!
I am looking for homemade recipes for strawberry-rhubarb pies and jams. Thank you.
I guess it’s rhubarb season! Please see the question below about strawberry-rhubarb pie. And also check out my recipe for Rhubarb & Onion Relish. And if you have lots and lots of strawberries, I think Strawberry Shortcake is in order!

QuestionI have several cookie recipes I would like to try but they all call for shortening (which I have never used in anything, and can't imagine ever using!). Can I use butter instead and get the same results? What about in pie crust? Thanks for all your help in the past - you are the greatest! --Nana RuthMarch 2012

QuestionI often buy boxed mixes -- rices, cornbread, pastas -- when they're on sale. I often don't use them right away and I've found I've gotten bugs in them, which is why I always pour the mix into a bowl before I put it in the pot. My question is, would it be safe to put the boxes in the refrigerator or freezer, so they would keep better? Would it compromise the quality of the product? Thank you, TinaMarch 2012
