A few weeks ago we had the fourth annual RhuBarBeQue. It was cold and rainy like last year, but we still had some great times and some fantastic rhubarb dishes.

• Apricot ginger rhubarbeque sauce
• Three pepper rhubarbeque sauce (hot!)
• Sweet and sour tempeh cabbage with pineapple-rhubarb sauce.
• Garlic-rhubarb vinaigrette
• Asparagus and tofu with rhubarb glaze
• Rhubarb cookies
• Rhubarb crunch
• Rhubarb pilaf
• Sweet, sweet rhubarb compote
• Rhubarb cake
• Rhubarb bars
• Rhubarb bread
• Rhubarb old-fashioneds

The Third Annual RhuBarBeQue went off splendidly on May 10, 2008 at Fort Awesome (that's where I live).

The BhuBarBeQue is a celebration of the wonderful vegetable known as Rhubarb. Rhubarb is a perennial that survives in the tundra known as Minnesota, and is one of the first edible things to come up in the spring. So, the RhuBarBeQue celebrates the thawing of this Midwest place after such a long hibernation.

It was raining and cold, but we still had a great time. Some of the dishes that were contributed to a full belly are the following (please keep in mind that all of these were delicious):

• The usual RhuBarBeQue Sauce
• Rhubarb Cream Cheese Wontons
• Rhubarb Curried Cauliflower
• Rhubarb Cobbler
• Rhubarb Salsa
• RhuJitos (Rhubarb Mojitos)
• Rhubarb Marinated Tofu
• Rhubarb Pilaf
• Rhubarb and Tempeh Bread Bowl with Chevre
• Rhubarb Wine
• Rhubarb Dream Bars
• Rhubarb Compote on Vanilla Ice Cream
• Rhubarb Bread
• Rhubarb Sticky Rice
