What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Copperberry]

If you want instant patina...and Rhubarb Schnapps in six weeks!

I have the most gigantic rhubarb plant in my back yard, what else do you add to make the schnapps?

Going camping in Olympic National Park this weekend, figure this should just about cover me. Am I forgetting anything? (Cutlery wise?)

Happy Friday, folks!

I have these two with me today. After work, I am heading out to spend a few days in the woods to recharge my batteries a bit. I will probably alter my weekend carries somewhat...

Gerber also sold that same little lockback with a pocket clip on it. I bought one for my mom many years ago when she worked at a pool company. She still carries that thing everywhere with her to this day. Thanks for the memory!

My partner for today(and every other day it seems). I'm starting to feel like I left something important at home if it's not sitting in my pocket.

You need rhubarb, sugar, vodka, and a knife! You don’t have to measure exactly, but here’s the recipe I use.

Rhubarb Schnapps,
recipe from Nigella Lawson, How to be a Domestic Goddess
Approx. 2 lbs of rhubarb, (1 1/4 lbs. trimmed)
1 1/3 cups of sugar
1 Liter of Vodka, plus a bit more if needed
2 one Liter jars
1 one Liter bottle
Chop the rhubarb and divide it between the two jars. Add 3/4 cup sugar to each jar, put the lids on and shake them vigorously. Unclip the lids and pour 2 1/4 cups of vodka - I used a cheap vodka, as she claims she does in the recipe - into each jar to fill. If this doesn't fill them, pour in a bit more.
Close the lids, put the rhubarb vodka somewhere cool and dark for at least 6 weeks and up to 6 months. If you remember, shake the jar each day or so for the first month (this makes it even more pink!).
Strain into a pitcher, then pour into the bottle. Makes 1 Liter.

Thanks for that link! I never knew about forced rhubarb. In New England, Rhubarb is a Spring treat.

I'm afraid that having grown up in a time, and place, where fruit only came in about half a dozen varieties, and rhubarb was passed off as one of them, I have a visceral dislike of the stuff. I am forever scarred by the disappointments of too many school dinner queues, where the excited chatter of 'apple crumble' would go down the line, only to be followed shortly after by 'Ugh! It's rhubarb!'

I understand. But I just made a rhubarb crisp (like a crumble), which I actually like just as much as an apple crisp. Of course we here in New England now revere lobster, whereas it was spurned in the old days, and is not beloved even now in England if I’m not mistaken.
