Question: "Does anyone else store their grapes in a colander on a plate in the fridge? I wash grapes as soon as I bring them home then stick 'em in a colander/strainer and then they're ready to grab for effortless (healthy) snacking." Rissa asks on the resourceful and also rather funny Crunchy Betty blog.
