Sometimes we need to face the things that terrify us - there's a sense of accomplishment on the other side that sizzles through one's veins and it adds one more dimension to one's life.
In respect of rhubarb, mine is finally hitting its straps and so to read this recipe when one is a tee-totaller, is a breath of zingy-filled air. I love pink-wash drinks, so I dare say this will be a keeper.
I love reading this, thank you -- I knew Molly Lamb Bobak (a little bit) and I Ioved her and work ! Her spirit was engaging and free and so very generous. I must read this book her daughter wrote.
I’ve recently discovered two keys to life are to embrace curiosity and make friends with discomfort. Maybe I’m a late bloomer or maybe a slow learner, nonetheless it can be invigorating amongst other things.
It is invigorating! And heck where would the stories we love come from if we didn’t push ourselves? What’s it going to be today? For me it’ll be squishing my life into a carryon suitcase. It makes me feel scared and claustrophobic 😂 but I CAN DO THIS.
Dearest Lindsay, I have missed your words so much. Life has indeed been full, and time to sit and read my substack subscriptions has fallen to the wayside. But it has been full of new and old things, things of growth and comfort and lots of cooking and baking. You have inspired me to give a rhubarb shrub a go, I have some rhubarb growing in the garden, the first time it’s been a success! ❤️

I feel like the tee-totallers are finally getting some attention. About time. Hope you enjoy this pretty drink. Easy and special. 🩷
You had me at pink cordial. 🍸 For those who want to make an "adulterated" beverage with the same cordial, what would you recommend?
Thanks for the reminder to step out of routine every now and again. That theme recurs for me, and I can always used the nudge.
We all need a nudge!
As for an adulterated cocktail, I would swap out soda for tonic water and add a shot of gin. A rhubarb gin and tonic! Yum.
How did you know my favorite warm weather drink is a gin & tonic!? Saving this idea, Lindsay, thanks. :)
