As with many Happy Hours or for that matter, any occasions involving alcohol consumption, conversations tend to bob and weave to topics that no one can remember how they started.  This photo stems from a conversation we had about cooking with grape seed oil.

Fascinating.  Just Fascinating.

Below is info from ever reliable wiki.  Cooking with Grape Seed Oil

Grape seed oil is extracted from grape seeds and has a relatively high smoke point, approximately 420 °F (216 °C), so it can be safely used to cook at high temperature. Grape seed oil can be used for stir-fries, sautéing and fondue. In addition to its high smoking point, grape seed oil has other positive attributes in relation to cooking. It has a clean, light taste that has been described as 'nutty'. Because of its 'neutral' taste, grape seed oil is often used as an ingredient in salad dressings or as a base for infusing or flavoring with garlic, rosemary, or other herbs or spices. It is also used as an ingredient in homemade mayonnaise.

The metabolic energy density of grape seed oil is comparable to that of other oils: about 120 kcal pertablespoon (34 kJ/ml).^{[citation needed]} However, because less oil is needed for cooking, it can be used within alow-fat diet especially when combined with good frying techniques (such as using enough oil, not overcrowding the pan, and having the oil at the correct temperature) which reduces the amount of absorbedoil.
