Dude. Huge difference and I need help here on this...Candy Raisins involve no actual raisins at all... :smile: Thank God. Basically they taste like a slightly caramel-soapy soft chewy candy...in a good way :smile:

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

I love raisins and am hard-pressed to find a recipe they would not improve.

One thing I re-discovered yesterday was the yumminess factor of yogurt coated raisins. I was eating a mess of trail mix -- the usual kind with a myriad of dried fruits and nuts. The highlight of the mix was the smattering of yogurt coated raisins -- just enough to give the dried fruit some oomph.

Frites with raisin mayo.

The thought of this will haunt me always. I suspect this might be served in outdoor cafes in Hell.

And, even worse, in an effort to one-up raisin mayo, my brain sputtered out "grilled steak with raisin chimichurri!"

Gah.
