mustang grape jelly - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

my dad made a bath of 14 jars for himself. I have talked him into making a batch of a dozen for myself.

This is the best grape jelly on the planet. Mustang grapes are tart, so the combination of the tartness, the sweetness of the sugar, and the grape flavor--pure heaven.

THis is a bigtime score.

The grapes are the wild variety in Texas.

It sounds good, but bathing in it seems excessive.

Have any of you read "Letters from an Idiot"? (I think that was the title of the book.)

It was a compilation of letters some comedian wrote to large corporations, said comedian pretending to be a very dumb consumer.

One of the letters was to some skin lotion company, asking if he could buy their lotion in bulk quantity so he could fill his bathtub with it to sleep in.

Anyway, bathing in this jelly is probably good for your skin or something. Maybe I'll give it a try if MW says it's "pure heaven."

That book is hilarious. Wasn't Jerry Seinfeld the ghost writer?

I must say, this thread has been completely and utterly hijacked. I'm proud to be a part of it.

So back to the OT; I'm waiting for MW's review of his jelly bath.

There is a sequel to Letters from a Nut, and I own both, and agree many of them are hilarious. Like when he wrote to one of the cheap Vegas in-n-out wedding chapels, saying his fiancee' and he have always wanted to consummate their nuptials right then and there in the chapel as soon as the ceremony ends, so would they be able to accomodate that request. Or when he wrote a letter to Coca-Cola seeking a declaration that his new product "Kiet Doke" does not infringe on their soda because his tastes like Pepsi.

No. It is actually called Letters from a Nut by Ted L. Nancy. This one looks like a rip off.
