I'll make it as soon as I'm able, and if I can get Crash to approve it. He's even pickier than I am. There won't be any balsamic vinegar in our batch, though. I always feel fortunate when I find out that I don't like something that's expensive. 😄

Do you have a trader Joe's nearby? Their house brand isn't "expensive" and it's very good.
We don't have a Trader Joe's anywhere near us. But I don't LIKE balsamic vinegar. I've bought it before and tried several times to use it, but neither of us care for the taste. I threw it away. There! I said it!

<gripping head with both hands and screaming> You threw it away? Pitched it? The horror of it all. OMG, I would have used it on my salad.

I know! I'm making lunch for my neighbor friends today and one ingredient on their list from me is BALSAMIC VINEGAR! Hard to do a homemade sweet/sour without it. Shrimp Kabobs, baby!

I think someone needs to send you a TJ's basalmic ("square" bottle) care package.
Okay, send me a bottle, and I'll forward it on to Michael. 😉

I'm munching on some smoked gouda and Trisket crackers. I'm also eyeballing some smoked oysters I have in the pantry.

Oh, I love smoked gouda! Can you e-mail me some?

Try smoked gouda served on slices of Bosc pears. Yum!
I've been getting really into good cheese/cracker/fruit combos lately. Aside from gouda and pears, I've made sharp cheddar on Wheat Twn House crackers with apples slices, and Champignon with Mushroom cheese served with green grapes. Also stuffed celery stalks with Saga blue and topped with toasted walnuts. Yummy!
