Why don't you freeze some of it for a nice reminder of summer when you need it next winter... pretty easy with this plant:
Wash stalks and remove all leaves. Trim and cut into 1-2 inch pieces or lengths you find suitable for freezing. Rhubarb can be frozen either raw or preheated. Heating rhubarb in boiling water for 1 minute and cooling promptly in cold water helps retain color and flavor. We like to freeze it in a light syrup... Pack prepared rhubarb (either raw or preheated) tightly into containers and cover with a medium syrup (3 cups sugar to 4 cups water). Leave 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal, label and freeze.
We thaw it in the fridge for about 4 hours when we need it.)
Then, when it's cold, windy and snowy, thaw some for this:

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chopped rhubarb
ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the milk and cream; set aside. Combine the sugar and flour in a separate bowl. Pour the sugar mixture into the egg mixture, then stir until well combined. Fold in the rhubarb. Pour into a casserole dish, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake in a preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 to 60 minutes.

try boiling it with a little sugar, blitzing it to a smooth mush and eating it with duck instead of a plum or orange sauce. (and dont knock it till you have tried it)

Blitz it up and mix it in with a raspberry or strawberry jelly.
