My friend Mindy has a blog (icantbegoodallthetime.blogspot.com) where she posts lovely photos & tales of good food. I was inspired by her as I was steaming the last of my grapes into juice this weekend. They were so vibrantly colorful in my sunny kitchen! My nighttime photography doesn't do their natural beauty justice. The brilliant purple of the concord grapes make them as much a pleasure to look at as to taste. The green "concord" grapes (I have no idea what varieties I'm tending to in my yard) created an opaque juice the color of pear flesh.It makes me cry to think of all the many years that the birds, the wasps, and I consumed only a few clusters of grapes while the bulk of them just rotted on the vine. I didn't know juicing grapes was so easy (albeit time-consuming). I think a steamer will be my next purchase for the kitchen.

The concord grape juice looks yummy...the green grape juice resembles that pink goo from the second ghostbusters movie. You know the stuff.
Steaming grapes into juice- awesome!
Thanks for the shout out Marti- and I do hear you about that nighttime photo predicament- I often face that as I try and take photos of my creations at all strange hours of the day and night...
grape juice is the best!
