So I waited and watched and looked and waited some more, and I am still watching IT! (the leek)

A Heart Tart…
Rise and Shine! As my niece would say…
Today is Valentines… Wishing you all a wonderful day with your love ones!
And I have made you a “Heart Tart” to enjoy. Also easy to bake.
Following recipe: Rhubarb / Berry Tart
Red celery for pies!
When I first saw this stalk at the produce store I thought whoa! “Red Celery“, but… not!
It is called Rhubarb, a plant with long red stalks and large green heart shaped leaves.
But only the stalks of rhubarb are edible; the leaves, which contain oxalic acid, are toxic.
The flavor of the rhubarb is sour, acidic; the redder the stalk, the sweeter it is.
When sweetened and cooked it is a traditional favorite for pies, pastries and making preserves.
This tart plant is also called the “Pie Plant”
