Ode to the grape …

Day 93

We were talking about grapes, for some reason, at the dinner table the other night. My mom doesn’t really care what color or shape they are but prefers them really cold. My dad is a big grape guy – meaning he likes grapes a LOT and he likes BIG grapes.

I, personally, have to be in a mood for grapes. I don’t even know how that is possible since they don’t have much flavor … maybe I have to be thirsty as they are more moisture than anything else … but whenever that mood strikes I prefer ROUND grapes. Green ones or red ones are fine … I need seedless, cold is preferable, but round is a must. If I go to get grapes and they are oblong … forget it. I won’t eat them let alone even buy them.

Grapes are a nice versatile fruit … (as most fruits are, when thinking about it). They are good munching snacks and a nice addition to salads, low in calories yet sweet and tasty.  The juice is yummy but I think I like the fermented grape juice the best … wine!

And speaking of wine … I am way too tired to do anything else so I think I’ll go pour myself a glass and relax before I konk out. A long day of moving issues and I am dog tired!

Long live the grape!
