The plant that never dies

Um. Does anyone else have an explosion of rhubarb? I swear mine doubled in size in the last 2 weeks!! But that's ok! There are tons of recipes we have that are delicious with rhubarb in them! And if any of you have more please share!!
I think it's physically impossible to kill this plant! It just grows and grows and grows! Every year it must double or something because when we transplanted this last year across the yard it was like the size of my hand. Now it's up to my knees. But it's so hardy for Minnesota and I see it in almost every yard I pass when in town. Even the most black thumbs can't fail with this. It's pretty much the only plant I know of that you plant and just leave it alone. Except for some watering if it gets super dry.
I love to talk to my grandmother's friends and find their recipes for it. You always find a unique recipe you wouldn't expect. Anyone else love this plant?
