Champagne grapes

[jethrien]

They had champagne grapes at the supermarket last night. I bought myself a bunch. They are so incredibly cute and yummy. Teeny tiny little grapes!

In other news, I always forget how long it takes to prep fruit for pies and cobblers. I never really factor that in when I try to figure out how long baking is going to take me. Hopefully the peach cobbler comes out well enough to justify all the time blanching and peeling peaches...

Ok, so when you have ripe peaches that you want to peel, you plunge them into boiling water for about 30 seconds or so, and you can pretty much pull the peel off in two or three pieces with your fingers. It just comes right off.

Unfortunately, all the peaches the supermarket had were a little underripe. And we didn't come up with the cobbler idea until last night, so it's not like I could get them and let them ripen. So mostly, I had hot peaches with the skins still stubbornly attached.
