Lensmaster SusannaDuffy is revved up about rhubarb.
And who can blame her after reading this tasty lens: http://www.squidoo.com/about-rhubarb
Here's a sneak preview, straight from her to you...
"Are you guilty of having a rhubarb plant, untended, unloved and uneaten in the bottom of your garden? Have you seen bunches of rhubarb for sale and wondered what to do with them?
Lots of people associate rhubarb with pies. More on the pies later, but there's a lot more to rhubarb than a pastry crust.
It's an exciting sauce for chicken, crocodile and seafood. It gives spice to pancakes and zing to muffins. As jam it spreads on scones, as juice it gives a boost to white rum, it's a heavenly sauce on ice cream.
And a garden just isn't a garden without a big clump of those heart-shaped, crinkly leaves and red-tinted stalks."
Besides the well-written lens for creative cooks, here are 3 more things of note on this short & sweet lens:
1. She's one of the first to use our brand new "About Me" module. See it in action here. It's like a Featured Lenses module crossed with a bio profile. Just enter your username, pick your display options, and you have a cool "About the Author" spot that lets readers know a little more about who built the lens (aka, you!). Works especially well as a postscript.
2. It's supercool that she's also running a blog, off of Squidoo, all about lenses. And she's featuring it in an RSS module on her lens. Of course she should. Of course you should, if you have a blog. Smart move. See it here.
3. Last: I really like the multimedia take on the topic. Videos, photos, her personal opinions and recipes, and the grand finale: feedback from other readers. Nice mix.
