I am no cook.
I lack the time, the experience, the fancy ingredients necessary for that recipe.
Yet after a quick stop at a side store in Toscana Park,
I can fool you,
all thanks to its Violet Balsamic Vinegar.
Oil and vinegar come together in this bright idea,
inspired by similar culinary creativity in larger cities.
Free samples, no rush -- downing Dixie cups of thick yellow-green oil and 18-year-old balsamic,
I criss-cross the store
before finally deciding on the addictive nectar of the gods
Violet Balsamic Vinegar.
Not knowing if or how I would use it,
I surprised myself when the bottle was half gone...
salads, marinades, pasta sauces disappeared fast as well...
anything that this vinegar touched.
