How are you not sick?

My son, how he can eat all these and not get sick.

No they are not grapes. They are muscadines. A cousin to the grape. Don't know what those are? Click that link and it will tell you. (I know I am being lazy)

This amount up there is small compared to what he normally will eat. Actually I think the jar was full. He just goes and picks them and eats them. I don't even think we have been able to put any up because he eats them so fast.

Logan how do you eat a muscadine? (I called him on the phone just now and asked him)

Logan: You bite the biggest littelish circle and then.......

Well that explained it to me how about ya'll.

I had some muscadine wine last summer when I was visiting my mom in Arkansas.

My hubby was reading this with me and he said, "Oh yeah, a lot of those can make you sick." Our former neighbor in GA had some growing and Derrick used to eat them. I must say that I have never had one and I'm not sure if I ever will. Little Logan must have a stomach of steel.

I was eating some green concord grapes these past few days. My ex father in law grows them and sent some over to me. They look just like those muscadine's. I DID get a belly ache today, I ate way to many. I wonder if they are the same thing? hmmmm...

Hugs,

I've never had them!

Tammy said...

Ohhhh, those things are SO good. Somebody brought a huge bag of them and left them in our office. We ate them all day long.

Debbie said...

I've never tried them, they don't look or sound very good?? Logan must think there pretty good - how's his tummy??

Buys and their strong stomachs...

I've never heard of them, but I'm feeling a bit woosy! Hey at least it's better for him than candy, right?!

D... said...

I have never in my life eaten one. I think Logan eats my share of them. ;) Reading wikipedia, they seem quite healthy. Are they sour? Do you discard the outer circle? I'm not sure why I'm so curious about this!

Dawn said...

Never had any of these. Don't think you've helped the argument for trying them, though. Ha!

Blessings!

My dad had a muscadine vine growing in our yard~ I liked them also?!?!? Maybe not a whole jar whole but at least one per season.

Just got to love boys!!!

Have a wonderful weekend. and thank you for the Nettitini idea I loved it!!!!

Misty said...

I love his description for eating muscadines. If you've ever eaten them, it makes perfect sense, but I'd for sure have a tummy ache!

How precious!

I also love to make wreaths from the vines. I love the ones that are all twisted and free formed....like me. LOL.

j said...

I remember those! And I don't eat them. Please give Lil Logan my share.

I am thinking that he is very regular though. He would HAVE to be.

And your photography in this post was FABULOUS! What a great eye! Maybe you should be doing some part time photography work or free lance or something. Because this was REALLY good.

marky said...

they look tasty! We eat the grapes off of our vine like that..and very fast. My dd and I have eaten so many we both should have had belly aches!

Woman said...

i have never eaten those. But LL sure looks like he enjoys them.

Jenny86753oh9 said...

Hmmmm...I've never heard of those things. I'm intrigued and grossed out all at the same time!

Beth@Pages of Our Life said...

Oh! We used to eat these as kids and even made drinks by stomping them in the bathtub..can't really remember that part...Cute blog! This is my first visit!

for those who have never had them.. u don't know what you are missing. My Uncle has a vineyard in Weaver AL, he grows acres and acres of them. I COULD JUST EAT MY WEIGHT IN THEM, AND IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW THAT IS ALOT OF MUSCADINES! LL~must have a tummy like mine! :}

mah-meeee said...

oh, never had them before! if i ever come across it, i'll know how to eat them... thanks to logan!

Darcy @ m3b said...

That's how I feel about gnocchi. I could eat and eat and eat gnocchi. Not sure I've ever had a muscadine. Now I'm curious...

I'll buy some next time I see them, though. Because I'll try anything once. ;)

j said...

You made me laugh right out loud at your take on the house divided. Oh My Gosh, YES! You need to wear orange tomorrow. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I just adore you Chica!

Connie said...

It's funny that you post this. We were at the fair last weekend and browsing through the food area and Caroline got so excited when she saw the muscadine's. Well there you go, a 4 year old from Alabama can always spot some muscadine's.

On another note, thank you soooo much for your sweet comment. It's always a great feeling when I open my mailbox and get some uplifting words from those out there in blogland. The great thing is that I could actually meet up with you in Huntsville and have a girl's day out.

Your kind words mean more than you know.

Joy said...

I have never heard of muscadines! I think I widen my knowledge of fruits.

I always enjoy your Fro Me posts. They make me laugh, and wonder what things we'll be making fun of from this design era.

Your dollar store birdies are looking cute. And I'm among the ones who don't have access to an OTP, but by the looks of it, it looks like a fun place to shop.

Oh, lots of comments from me. Can you tell that I'm finally catching up on my blog reading?

Have a delightful weekend!

duchess said...

Love these.
My grandmother had a vine on her farm & all the grandkids would go under & just pick & eat to our hearts content.

Ah, good memories.

Anonymous said...

I've never had one that i can recall

Manager Mom said...

Wow. I had never heard of those before. They kind of look like olives. or small apples. They don't look like they would taste good, but the pictures tell a different story.

DD said...

crack me up. Let me tell you that I had only hear of muscadines about 5 years ago.

Rhea said...

I love the photos and his description of how he ate them! That's so cute!!

I really liked this post.

j said...

Hey CONGRATULATIONS! Your team won!

Growing up we had a muscadine vine in our back yard - except we called them scupanons (not sure if thats spelled right?)

Anyway, I love those things and wish I knew where to get some. Maybe it's only an alabama thing?
