Merry Christmas!

Bring on the olive oil and balsamic vinegar!

I have tried basalmic vinegar like 100 times and just can't do it.
But the pasta and all the rest? Yes!!
 
Yeah I eat most everything. Just don't like basalmic. I can do vinegar, apple cider vinegar, pickled anything... but not that.
We got ahold of some 25 year old balsamic in one of those Olive Oil/Balsamic Vinegar stores. That stuff was like a sweet syrup. Even sampled straight it was yummy. That stuff they call balsamic in the grocery store isn’t even in the same zip code as the 25 year stuff. Generally, when we use it as a dressing we add a bit of honey. Not sure we even add olive oil. We’ve also just drizzled it straight on whatever. It might be good on ice cream.
 
I'm making scratch lasagna on Sat. for Christmas Eve dinner... just a small tradition in our Family unit. Got sh!t news a few hours ago... a cousin of mine suddenly passed away this afternoon in hospital. A year younger than I, awful accident. We used to hang quite a bit as wild teen boys, but our paths diverged, and TBH he ended up living a real hard life due to questionable choices. Rest in peace, Darryl. We had some good times!

His parents live a couple blocks away from us, I'll be walking over tomorrow to sit with them. ... my son and daughter are driving home Christmas Eve day ... hope the weather isn't stupid for them to deal with. Finished my shopping/groceries/booze run stuff earlier today. Frick it's cold up here!

Happy holidays my brothers cherish your families if you can!

Thanks Brad. So sorry to hear about that. Puts a damper on the holiday.

This is precisely what I've had in mind the whole time ...

Thank you all for your kind thoughts mybros If you knew Darryl he had many battles, but he was a gentle soulful dude. Not a mean bone in his body, and he loved to laugh and laugh. Ok he did kind of steal a super pretty girlfiend of mine, but they were a better match anyway for the time they went out. Small town stuff LOL. I think she liked his bright yellow 68' Chevy half ton better than my crappy AMC Hornet
