Rhubarb Compote (Stewed Rhubarb) over Ice Cream

Rhubarb Compote (Stewed Rhubarb) over Ice Cream

Fresh rhubarb is in season for many.  Here is an easy recipe for a surprisingly tasty topping used over vanilla or chocolate ice cream. While some may call it "rhubarb compote", many still prefer the slightly more cacophemistic "stewed rhubarb".

Birds and Boats along the April New England Shore

Photos of/by Muffy Aldrich

April along the New England coast is when everything comes alive.  

On the human side, big equipment is brought in to haul all kinds of stuff to the islands, rake the beaches, and do coastal repairs.  People are out too, picking up trash on beaches, working on boats,  flexing their sailing muscles again.

On nature's side, shorebirds are seemingly everywhere, even horseshoe crabs (Limuli) start to make their first appearances.  And you can get some really wild coastal storms.  

All in all, just an energetic time along the coast.
