A friend of ours who live a block away gave us part of her rhubarb root, and I have planted it in the backyard. I have been missing having rhubarb.... and the bonus was, that she also gave me a bag full of stalks.
I ahve since found a website devoted to all thing Rhubarb: The Rhubarb Compendium - You name it, it's there. Found some great recipies, and made jam tonight.
Oooooo can hardly wait!

Congrats on enjoying Rhubarb. I, unfortunately, hate the stuff. I guess it's from the "early years" on the farm. At times it seems all we had to eat was headcheese, rhubarb, and gooseberries. I still eat it once in a while in an attempt at healing and reconcilliation but, alas, the wounds run too deep. I feel almost the same way towards turnip and boiled potatoes. I'll eat turnip if its mixed with carrots, brown sugar, and heavy cream! And boiling is such a dastardly thing to do to the noble potato! (Unless, of course, if the spuds are mashed with roasted garlic, cream, and butter......ahhhh!)
