I'm back! I've been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks. Both my boys swim on a summer league team, and we've been in championships mode. My 13-year-old swam at Division Champs on 7/18/09 and took 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in his races. Our pool hosts the Division Champs, and yours truly is the meet coordinator. Then, my 16-year-old swam at League Champs on 7/20/09, where he took 2nd (out of swimmers from 26 different teams) in the backstroke, setting a club record. (Brag time is now over.) It's taken me almost a week to get caught back up on everything.
This is kind of a silly tip, but it's a perfect one for summertime, and hopefully, it helps to get me back into the habit of posting more regularly.
We love grapes. I especially love them when they are firm and plump. I hate it when some of the grapes fall off and start getting soft and shriveled. So, the other day, I tossed all the remaining grapes into the freezer. Even the shriveled grapes became plump and yummy again. Eat them straight from the freezer, or allow to thaw for a minute or two. Not only is this a very nice cool treat on a hot summer afternoon, but it saves you from tossing grapes that would otherwise be wasted.
