King George Roscoe P-Coltrane the First
Viva and Jerry, from Viva and Jerry's Country Music Videos, love our little (relative term) basset hound. Jerry thinks he swaggers like a king, so we all started calling him King George. This is the picture we took of george this year (his crown is from BK) that we framed and gave to Viva and Jerry as a Christmas present.

Grandma B's Rhubarb Sauce - Very Easy, Very Basic Recipe - but tasty!


This recipe is from my grandma, so needless to say its kind of "unmeasured"? The recipe calls for 2 parts Rhubarb and 1 part Strawberries (although recently, I've been doing equal amounts by accident because Dad said mine had extra strawberries but that he liked it.)

So it might go something like this:
2 Cups Rhubarb Chopped in small bits
1 Cup Strawberries Chopped in small bits
Water to cover
Sugar to taste

Put the strawberries and rhubarb in a sauce pan and put enough water in the saucepan to just cover the top of the rhubarb and strawberries. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and simmer until there are no longer "chunks" in the sauce (the smaller the bits the quicker it breaks down). When its done it will almost look like an applesauce. Now add sugar to taste (grandma likes it tart, Emily likes it sweet.) Once cooled either freeze or apply to desserts. My dad likes it so much he'll just have bowls of rhubarb sauce, but its best over icecream or other desserts. Yum!
