Did You Know-Grapes

In Dianes Kitchen

Did you know that you shouldn’t wash your grapes until shortly before you eat them?

They should never be sealed in a bag or container with a lid. Grapes need circulation so go ahead and leave them in the store bag or container that they came in.

If you bring them home and leave them on the counter they will start to go bad within a couple of days.

Grapes should be refrigerated for longer life and the best place to store them is in the crisper with higher humidity or in the back of the shelf where it is colder. Storing them at 30-32 degrees with 90% humidity will preserve them even longer.

Grapes can be frozen and are delicious to eat right out of the freezer.

♫ 25 Or 6 To 4 ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

A night or so ago, my friend Jerry suggested this song.  I thought I had played it here a few times, but turns out I only played it once, back in 2019.  So, here is tonight’s redux and I promise to try to come up with something I haven’t played before by the end of the week!


This song has a strange title, and an equally strange history, but I love, love, love the horns in it.  Released in 1970, this song was written by Robert Lamm, who is a keyboard player and singer for Chicago.  It’s about trying to write a song, with the title referring to the time of day: either 3:35 a.m. (25 to 4) or 3:34 a.m. (26 to 4).  Confused yet?  According to Lamm …

“I was living with a bunch of hippies up above Sunset Strip. One of the advantages of this particular house…

Novel Writing Process, and Why I Hate & Love Character Creation

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

I love getting to know my characters, figuring out how they think, why they would do certain things, or not, and getting to know who they are and how they became that person.  But it’s a dead space in the word count listing!!
🙂
For a person who likes to check items off of the daily To Do list, it is a process that is frustratingly unchartable.  Yet, it remains a rewarding process, seeing what incidents in the life of your person led to decisions, thought patterns, and habits.  A painstaking process, to be sure, as I get to know how my protagonist, Isaias, will react to plot events, and thus create the story.
Thoughts, Fellow Writers?
