6 cups sliced rhubarb, about a pound and a half.
½ cup granulated sugar.
1 3 oz package strawberry gelatin.
1 9 oz package yellow cake mix (like Jiffy).
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted.
2 tsp confectioners’ sugar for garnish.
Whipped topping such as Cool Whip optional. I would personally use vanilla ice cream.

1. Use baking pan, 11 X 7 X 2. Coat with nonstick spray such as Pam.

3. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and strawberry gelatin.

When we think of grilling, sometimes we tend to forget about the side dishes and
salads that also make a great summertime meal.
This month we will provide some ideas for healthy and delicious sides and salads,
prepared in a variety of ways. We encourage our audience to bring your favorite salad
or side dish recipes to the program.
Maybe a dessert or two as well whether we need it or not!
Time permitting, we may even discuss some of the exhibits we put our hands on at
the recent ACB national convention held last week in a place almost as hot as well!
Phoenix , Arizona .

The theme for this program will be: Quick & Easy Meals.
The following products will be featured: Toaster oven , Contact Grill, Nordicware
Breakfast Set (featuring omelet maker, egg boiler, and sandwich maker).
Ideas such as cold sandwich, salad plates and fruit plates featuring a favorite dressing
or brand.
We will encourage audience participation in order to make this even fun show more
enjoyable to the ear as well as the palate.

"Cooking with Ken and Cindy" will present a special cooking program on barbecuing and grilling as we prepare for Memorial Day and the entire summer. We will be presenting some interesting guests to discuss outdoor cooking, types of outdoor equipment to use outdoors, charcoal versus gas cooking, and methods for making your BBQ tasty and pleasurable. For some of you who are unable to cook outside, we will discuss grilling on indoor grills such as the George Foreman grill.

On April 25, 2010, at 4 p.m. Pacific Daylight time, Cooking with Ken and Cindy will

visually impaired, how to access assistance from a store, how to select meats and
produce, what types of questions to ask while shopping in person, etc. We will also
welcome shopping tips and web sites that some of our audience uses to make shopping
that much easier.

The other day on Accessible World, many of you heard from Al Gil regarding the ease
of gambling while blind. Well, on our next program, Al’s daughter and son-in-law,

that Mary Beth and Tom Randall have enjoyed from it over the past two to three years.

Hello to all our friends of Cooking with Ken and Cindy.
For our next program, next Sunday, November 22, 2009, we will have a great holiday show for you. However, to do this we would like to have as many of you on line with us in the Accessible Kitchen Conference Room as we talk turkey. We’ll also talk ham and perhaps prime rib. We might even talk about cooking a goose.
