Even knowing that they're grapes, I can't imagine eating them - just on the fact the the grapes are usually peeled. There's just something wrong about peeled grapes. Of course, maybe that stems from the fact that they remind me of eyeballs. Ugh. Its a vicious circle. ;-)Jessa Russo https://www.blogger.com/profile/07061996967428020722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-79883146934916743312012-04-20T12:26:11.690-04:002012-04-20T12:26:11.690-04:00Congratulations!
