Easy Rhubarb Bread

We recently went to dinner and Chalk Fest in our quaint little down town area. It’s become a family tradition that we look forward to every summer!

On the way home I thought I saw an Eagle flying over us but as it got closer I realized it wasn’t. I then said, “I am not very good at birding.” My husband got a good chuckle out of the word ‘birding,’ because he had never heard of that. I told him it meant bird watching, but he wouldn’t accept it as a word. He said, “That’s like calling people watching, peopling.”

Touche, however, the English language is quirky and that’s just the way it is! Of course I had to look it up the definition and really drive it home that I was right. He reluctantly agreed and we got a good laugh out of it!

We at least agree that this Rhubarb Bread is delicious! If you have a bunch of rhubarb to use up, make sure to try making Fresh Rhubarb Pie, Strawberry Rhubarb Streusel Cheesecake Bars, or Rhubarb Dream Bars (a very popular recipe)!
