Grapes of Mirth

It was hot outside yesterday, not as hot as it has been, but still bug-buzzing, sun-blinding, clothes-sticking hot. And we were out in it. In the middle of the day. Playing in the backyard. First we painted our puppet theater, but more on that in a separate post. Then, Bud played baseball and then I taught him kickball. Sis was baking with weeds we'd pulled out of the front garden. And when we'd get too hot, or thirsty, or hungry, we retreated to the shade of the table umbrella and ate frozen grapes, marveling at how they got squishier the longer they were outside. You would think they were the best thing ever. And, really, in the sun in the heat in the summer for two dirty kids and one sweaty mommy, they were.

Frozen Grapes

De-stem, wash, and pat down grapes, removing as much moisture as possible. Place in zipper bag and freeze for at least 4 hours. Enjoy straight out of the bag.
