but do know that they are not much to eat. It can grow crazy, but if it is in an area of little concern, that is not a problem. Birds and other critters do eat them, and that is a plus in my mind.

But if you want to try cooking with the grape leaves, why not ask the Greek ladies what to do? They are probably making dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). Personally, I don't care for them. I am of Polish descent, and we stuff cabbage leaves...which are not as pungent tasting as the grape leaves. You fill them with a rice or rice/meat mixture, roll them, and bake. There are lots of recipes and instructions on how to roll them online.
