They stay intact, and shrivel just a little. Their natural sugars concentrate and caramelize, creating an explosion of wine-y, sweet juice when you pop one into your mouth and bite down. They'll spoil you, because eating a fresh grape just won't be the same anymore. Here, try for yourself in this easy dish of "Arugula Salad with Roasted Grapes." It's a simple salad, but with a "wow" factor from the grapes, which sparkle on the plate like little jewels. The vinaigrette is a smoky-tangy blend of roasted shallots, roasted garlic, sherry vinegar, Dijon and olive oil. The caramelized shallots really lend a nice sweetness that's evident in the flavor of the dressing. Peppery arugula forms the base of the salad. Next time, I might add some endive spears, too, for added crunch, as the arugula wilts quickly once the dressing is applied.

The shopping center is in the midst of adding an upscale Dining Terrace and Luxury Collection of stores. To make sure customers don't go hungry in the meantime, the center will host a Moveable Feast of four rotating food trucks every Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The trucks will be located directly outside of Center Court. on the south side of the shopping center. If you walk out of the mall past Kiehl's and MAC, you'll find the trucks parked right there. Outdoor seating will be provided, too, so you can nosh without standing up the whole time. Additionally, on Friday nights, there will be a pop-up bar with live entertainment, in addition to the food trucks, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.       For more musings on food, wine, life and laughter, go to foodgal.com.
