Hi Dale,

BC> I was offline to go on a three week walkabout.  I was exposed to many
BC> culinary delights, the most novel of which was the idea of topping
BC> vanilla icecream with basalmic vinegar.

DD> Where did you find that treat? I thought that vinegar on I scream was
DD> a British thing.

DS> Balsamic vinegar is not like other vinegars.  It has a quite different
DS> flavor profile.  I would not have thought of that use, but can
DS> understand it.  It makes a good addition to a salad of tomatoes, mozz
DS> cheese and basil.

We got back on Thursday from a cruise/train/bus trip to Alaska. Spent 2
nights in Fairbanks, ate at the hotel pub a couple of times and the
hotel restaurant--very similar menus, both with high (Alaska) prices.
The first afternoon, for lunch, I didn't want a lot to eat so I ordered
the (small) strawberry/feta/greens/candied pecans/bacon and craisins
salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing. It was really good; Steve had it
as part of his supper that night and we split one the next evening as
part of supper. Definatly worth trying to recreate now that we're home.

DS> And then you went and found another example:-}}

DS> Here is another example of its use.
DS> We would make this using fresh basil if we had some.

Can you not grow any on a window sill? It does look good.
