dear balsamic vinegar...
oh how i love thee.
i was especially giddy today as i was roasting tomatoes and had a happy accident. i didn.t realize how hot i had gotten my pan and it wasn.t until i had added your beautiful bronzed liquid into the mix that i realized my mistake...you immediately started to bubble and boil and thicken in an angry rebellion. so i let you have your tantrum because it was quite funny to watch you get so upset.
you really took it out on those tomatoes, but in the end, alas i was the fool.
you really sweetened in that heat and were better than i have ever known you to be. please forgive me for laughing at you. i had no idea that chefs have been making a reduction out of you for years.
forever your biggest fan,
chrissy

Wow, what a tasty accident! Must try this, it sounds delicious! Know a recipe from Jamie Oliver for a garlicy tomato sauce, where he ads balsamico at the end - also not bad! Ah, i love improvised coocking - thanks for the inspiration Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteToo cute, Miss Chrissy - what would life be without a few happy accidents now and then??
