These sounded really interesting. I've had this recipe printed out and ready to try for awhile so today when I made tapas I made these as well. I substituted all spice for the anise because my mom loathes anything with anise in it. She LOVED the grapes and so did everybody else. Thanks for such a cool & tasty recipe!!! Ciao, Bella P.S. I marinated the grapes for only 2 hours and they still turned out fine!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
