  1. I just finished 2 lbs. of red seedless grapes! So refreshing!!!

    Just pop 'em in your mouth, no chin juice. or sticky fingers. Just so full of
    cool sweet juice. Like biting into a sweet raindrop.

    If I was a bird right now, I'd be laying down drunk 'til Friday! "Twoot,
    twoot!"

    Grapes. My favorite fruit for a hot day.

    Yours?

    Grapes are so good 😉 Maybe that's why my brown thumb has been
    attempting to grow three grape vines the past few years. Today I was
    mortified! One of the danged furry-tailed rats climbed one of the vines
    and pilfered a few immature grapes only to waste them! As Andy would
    say, The BUM(s)!

    My favorite is really a fresh fruit salad with watermelon, cantaloupe,
    peaches, plums, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and any other ripe
    fruit available.

    Red seedless grapes, watermelon or cherries! Or most any sweet ripe
    summer fruit really.

    Yum, I wouldn't turn that down if you offered it to me! Mix in some
    vanilla yogurt and call it a meal.

    I like melon, cold watermelon is great or a 1/2 cantalope/honeydew
    with a scoop of vanilla.

    Chilled cantaloupe. I absolutely love grapes, but they don't like me back.
    Nor do strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, oranges, lemons, starfruit - basically
    anything the least bit acidic. So, I stick with blueberries, cantaloupe and
    cherries. Yum!

    Even better are sweet green or red seedless grapes, frozen in
    the freezer. The texture is only slightly crunchy and they keep
    for a long time, tho' I can't say they ever get the chance. The
    idea of freezing grapes is not mine but try a few if you don't
    believe me!

    Best of all is the noble Juniper Berry, used to make gin which is then
    mixed with tonic, over ice with a lime wedge.

    Melons. Watermelon, cantaloup, honeydew. I find them much more refreshing
    than any other fruit.

    James,

    I just tried a dozen (green seedless). They weren't crisp and juicy, rather
    icy/mushy inside with a chewy skin and too cold.

    Might be good for taking on a hike or to the park in peak heat so they don't
    turn to mush so soon.

    Gotta be watermelon! And, I like it best at room temperature; the
    flavor just seems more intense that way. Of course, you DO have the
    aforementioned problems with "chin juice...sticky fingers", ha! But
    you can just take a chunk outside in your lawn work clothes, gobble it
    down, and use the garden hose for a quick, refreshing rinse.

    A friend got me to try frozen grapes many years ago -- I thought he
    was nuts, but they're really good. Although my personal favorite fruit
    for hot days would be cold pineapple...

    Does a six-pac of brewskis count as a fruit?
