I received these gorgeous art cards from Sharon in the mail yesterday. Thanks Sharon, they are beautiful, and all the way from New Zealand!
Here is our latest summer snack, small, frozen, seedless grapes. I had the idea from a cashier at the grocery store. She told me they are so good to take to a picnic. Son K loves them. Have you tried these before?
Here's a great article I read in the newspaper recently. It highlights the law firm 'McCarthy Tétrault' as being a leader in work and family balance. It tops up maternity pay for lawyers and a portion is available to fathers taking parental leave. Support staff also have similar benefits. It offers lawyers flexibility at different times in their career and there is a focus on moving women into leadership roles. It would be great if more companies would understand the business benefits of work and family balance.

And did you hear McDonald's introduced the McLobster roll to Ontario, Canada yesterday? It retails for about $7 and $9 for the combo although it's unclear which locations are carrying it. Here is some information I found. Here's some more.

Lovely cards from Sharon and those frozen grapes look good. Not a fan of lobster though, and we don't have a McD near here! Valerie
I'll freeze some grapes and try them later. Thanks for the idea. Nice art cards, and yes, I would love to try the lobster. Yum!
never tried it, but I had a friend that loved them
I like frozen grapes, but at this time of the year I like frozen watermelon even better! Cut it into small cubes, throw it in the freezer for a few hours, and it tastes like tiny popsicles. I've been eating a serving in the evenings most nights.
The grape idea sounds very interesting. I'll have to give that a try out of curiosity, if nothing else.
I heard about the lobster coming to Ontario, but I haven't checked our local restaurants. It's extremely rare that I'm at McDonald's, so I'm not sure what they're serving these days. I'll have to drop by and see about this latest addition.
thanks for the tip Kathy, I'm trying that now, as I had some watermelon at home.
I occasionally eat those and often on holidays. Those are great-looking cards!
Pleased that the cards arrived safely, After I posted them I had a feeling that I might have put Kats in your evelope and vice-versa! As she is in France it might have caused a problem. I have heard of frozen grapes but never tried them, I have done frozen loganberries and blueberries are neat that way too. Someone told me that you can get Kangaroo burgers in Aussie, but I dont know if they were pulling my leg, Haha.
Circa 1975 I worked for a farm publications magazine and we did a lot of experimenting with frozen grapes in our office kitchen as we had heard from a local grape grower that it was something the industry was looking into. Never went too far, though, in the commercial realm. They don't hold up well over time.
What an idea! We are having a picnic tomorrow.
Although, our fridge is bad and usually freezes things and ruins them!
What lovely art cards and the grapes look delicious! It's a great, healthy idea...
You know what? I have some grapes in a drawer right now. I'm going to throw some in the freezer to try this out. Thanks!
I have never tried them but have tried different frozen berries. Thanks for the article on law firms. I will give it to my daughter so she knows what she is missing in her firm. Hope the family is well. And I love those cards. NZ is a beautiful place.
