rhubarb rhubarb

All I really know about rhubarb is that if a lot of people say it all at once, it can sound like the general muttering of a crowd of extras on a movie set.

But I've already found a recipe for cold rhubarb soup with mint (scroll to the 2nd recipe), and I'm going to get baking soda and concoct something with flour and sugar that you can bake in a cast iron skillet. Any suggestions?
