Rhubarb Rosemary Cucumber Bites

May 26, 2010

rabarbaro/rhubarb I didn’t get the memo – The everyone-in-Atlanta-scooped-up-the-Rhubarb-and-left-me-none memo. Seriously! I looked (almost) everywhere this past weekend: 4 Whole Foods, 3 Publix, 2 Farmer’s Markets and 1 Kroger. To be honest, it was one of the few times I was thankful an order didn’t come to fruition.
