taste. i'm a seeded guy. these grapes are what we call baby seedless grapes. how they get these grapes, they're all natural. instead of thinning out the grapes to get them bigger they let them grow natural. that's what they do with raisins. they leave the grapes natural. wherat happens is they don't thin them out. they make the grapes bigge and bigger. that's what happens. think grew the grapes for the raisin market. the farmer in california decided that we have some of these

grapes and i added a little extra. they put them in the box and gave them to the kids. listen. believe me when i tell you as consumers you drive what the farm farmers dprou and what everybody brings in. what happens is he got more and more request. so what happened was they started to bring them to the marketplace. these grapes are only in the marketplace at the end of the season. really, the end of august, september and into october. if you look at these grapes, you see a golden look to the grapes. that's because a grape is left on the vine a long time. the sugar comes into them. anything that's got a lot of sugar into them, what happens is it will tend to go bad faster. they use to release these grapes into the marketplace in bulk and now they started to put them in

the containers the last three or four years for supermarkets. what happens is when i had my stores and all, these grapes, when you pick them up, it's what we call shatter. because the grapes are so ripe they'll come right off the stem. when buying them the same way you buy regular grapes, you want to look for a nice, green stem. you want that dusty color and dusty bloom. now, they're starting to grow them in the variety. anything that was a red grape had a seed in it. when they started to grow the flame variety or red seedless. they're out there and going to see them in all the super markets out there. they're available. by the way, two weeks ago i took a ride up to donald son's farm. she watches the show and so i went up there. i'm glad to tell everybody in america and especially everybody in new jersey and new york that

panels under the windows, 14-inch baseboards. when guests would arrive for dinner, they would be greeted here in the entrance and then proceed to the parlors. [music playing] i think i like these rooms best when they're filled with people on new year's day. the 9 and 1/2-foot ceilings and the scale of the rooms makes it feel grand, even when it's filled with people. the double parlor is one big space when you want it to be. or you can close these original sliding doors. the greek revival house gave us neoclassical excuse to collect a few pieces of period neoclassical furniture and some local portraits.
