Rhubarb, Where Have You Been All My Life?
Sad, but true. I've never had much rhubarb in my life until now. And now I'm desperately trying to catch up to lost time.

Rhubarb is not a common ingredient in Chinese cooking (frankly, non-existent), so I was never introduced to it as a child. And I guess I never had really good rhubarb going into my adulthood because nothing really stood out in my mind (or to my tastebuds). But this year, I haven't been able to stock up on the stuff. Each week at the farmer's markets, I would pick up two large bunches of the ruby-red stalks.
