your tags often have some solid pieces of advice on living a decent life. wondering if you'd care to share maybe 3 such things that have helped you the most and you keep coming back to?

Jerk off constantly.

Don't buy expensive balsamic vinegar. Just get a cheap bottle at the supermarket (an 8.5 oz bottle of Bertoli Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is like $5 at most). Simmer a cup of it with 3 tablespoons each of sugar and port, until it's reduced by half. Let cool and drizzle over whatever the fuck you want. It will taste like the top shelf stuff.

When you're an adult, a few days without eating vegetables or putting your principles into practice¹ will give you a Feel Like Shit debuff. Chances are you already feel like shit for reasons outside of your control, so allocating energy and time towards those you can control will save you² a lot of grief.

I'm an Apollo devotee...

Of course, I'm blessed with inspiration in all aspects of my life, including cooking.

And tonight he blessed me with some decent inspo after spending some hours creating his THREE altars.

Sometimes I actually feel like good food, which for anyone who's ex-hospitality industry like myself knows that means it's a night of eating in rather than tolerating restaurant food.

The food:

Greek salad with goat's cheese

Vegetables

High protein yoghurt dip with mint & garlic

Lamb (cooked blue as the gods intended)

Some Modena Italian balsamic vinegar on the side.

Thank you, Lord Apollon

top five foods/flavours?

ahhhhh now this is very very hard oough!! but thank u so much for the ask!!!

1. Im in a vinegar era rn, i love like the richness that acid can add to a dish like ill do a 1(a) for my Beef Stew which is a modified Old Fashioned beef stew recipe i have where i up how much red wine vinegar i use and i also add balsamic vinegar of Modena, that shit?? decadent, slaps, divine, i live to make my stew for ppl

2. My dad's rice and beans specifically. He just has the best ones! he learned how to make it in Puerto Rico when he lived there and i grew up eating it and ahhh i miss it, i need to visit him so he can make me some or have him share a recipe (even though he probably makes it slightly different every time) haha

3. a nice grilled salmon, its just,, im lucky to have sea food readily available to me bc of where i live and there is a correct way to grill a salmon and if you pair that with a cucumber and kale salad? or maybe green beans ooooooooh bro i promise it can be life changing

4. beef stroganoff, another comfort dish my dad would make when i was growing up, i think traditionally a stroganoff is made with rice, but my dad would use twisty noodles for it? oh man im feeling so nostalgic rn

5. spaghetti, its one of my go tos for an easy meal, i personally like to spice it up (literally) bc i think traditional marinara sauce (from a can or jar, anyway) is too sweet so i tend to throw like chili flakes or vinegar (or both ausbjahw) into my sauce and i just think it elevates it

The Magic of Aged Balsamic Vinegar: A Culinary Delight

Aged balsamic vinegar is not just a condiment; it’s a culinary treasure that can elevate your dishes and transform your cooking experience. At The Olive Groove, we offer a range of exquisite aged balsamic vinegars that are perfect for various culinary applications. Let’s dive into what makes aged balsamic vinegar so special and how you can incorporate it into your kitchen.

What is Aged Balsamic Vinegar?

Aged balsamic vinegar originates from Modena, Italy, where it has been crafted for centuries. This unique vinegar is made from freshly crushed grape must, which is cooked down to create a thick syrup. The key to its rich flavor lies in the aging process, where the vinegar is stored in wooden barrels for several years. This aging allows it to develop a complex flavor profile that is sweet, tangy, and slightly thickened, making it a versatile addition to your pantry.

Why Choose Aged Balsamic Vinegar?

Rich Flavor Profile: The extended aging process results in a deep, nuanced flavor that can enhance both savory and sweet dishes. The sweetness balances the acidity, making it perfect for drizzling over salads, meats, or even desserts.

Versatile Culinary Uses: Aged balsamic vinegar can be used in a variety of ways:

Dressings and Marinades: Create a simple vinaigrette by mixing aged balsamic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. It’s also a great marinade for meats, adding depth and tenderness.

Glazing and Saucing: Use it as a glaze for roasted vegetables or as a finishing touch for grilled meats. It can elevate a simple dish to a gourmet experience.

Desserts: Drizzle aged balsamic over fresh fruits, ice cream, or even dark chocolate for an unexpected yet delightful dessert experience.

Health Benefits: Aged balsamic vinegar is lower in calories and can aid digestion. It contains antioxidants, which can contribute to overall health when consumed in moderation.

How to Use Aged Balsamic Vinegar

1. Salad Dressings

Create a quick and delicious salad dressing by combining aged balsamic vinegar with olive oil, a touch of mustard, and herbs. This simple dressing enhances the freshness of your salads, making every bite a delight.

2. Roasted Vegetables

Toss your favorite vegetables in aged balsamic vinegar before roasting. The vinegar caramelizes as the veggies cook, adding a sweet and tangy flavor that is simply irresistible.

3. Cheese Pairings

Pair aged balsamic vinegar with a variety of cheeses. Its sweet and tangy notes complement cheeses like Parmesan, goat cheese, or sharp cheddar, making it a perfect addition to cheese boards.

4. Glazed Meats

For a gourmet touch, use aged balsamic vinegar to glaze meats. Brush it on chicken or pork during the last few minutes of grilling for a beautifully caramelized finish.

5. Sweet Treats

Don’t forget about dessert! Aged balsamic vinegar drizzled over strawberries or vanilla ice cream creates a sophisticated dessert that is sure to impress.

Benefits of Using Balsamic Vinegar – the Richly Flavored Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is dark, richly flavored vinegar originating from Italy, specifically the Modena and Reggio Emilia regions. Now, it has become a common thing in every kitchen that is used for varied purposes. It is known for its complex taste and versatility, balsamic vinegar has been a staple in Italian kitchens for centuries. Balsamic vinegar is made from unfermented grape juice, known as “must,” which is slowly aged in wooden barrels. The aging process, which can range from a few years to several decades, results in a thick, syrupy liquid with a balanced sweet and tangy flavor. It ensures its authenticity and quality. However, there are also more affordable commercial varieties that offer a similar taste profile.

Culinary Uses of Balsamic Vinegar

One of the most common uses of balsamic vinegar is as a dressing for salads. When combined with olive oil, it creates classic vinaigrette that enhances the flavors of fresh vegetables. Balsamic vinegar is also a popular choice for drizzling over cooked meats, such as grilled chicken or steak, adding a tangy depth to the dish.

Promoting the Taste of Sweets

In addition to savory dishes, balsamic vinegar is often used in sweet applications. A few drops of high-quality balsamic vinegar can promote the taste of fresh strawberries, ice cream, or even a cheese platter. The sweetness of the vinegar complements the natural sugars in fruits and desserts, creating a sophisticated flavor profile.

Balsamic vinegar can also be reduced to create a glaze, which can be drizzled over roasted vegetables, pizza, or even used as a dipping sauce. This reduction intensifies the vinegar’s sweetness and thickness, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.

Health Benefits of Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is not only a culinary gem but also offers several health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals in the body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Additionally, the acetic acid in balsamic vinegar has been shown to aid in digestion and improve blood sugar levels, making it a beneficial addition to meals for those with diabetes.

The vinegar’s antimicrobial properties can also promote better skin health when applied topically, although it should be diluted to avoid irritation. Moreover, balsamic vinegar is low in calories and fat, making it a healthier alternative to other dressings and sauces that may contain added sugars and fats.

Tips for Using Balsamic Vinegar

Its strong flavor means that a small amount can significantly enhance a dish. For dressings and marinades, start with a teaspoon and adjust according to taste. If you’re using traditional balsamic vinegar, savor its unique flavor by using it sparingly over dishes where its complexity can shine.

Summary: Balsamic vinegar is a versatile and healthful ingredient that deserves a place in your kitchen. Whether used in savory dishes, sweet desserts, or as a health tonic, its rich flavor and benefits make it a culinary treasure.

We couldn't really believe it was happening, all of us finally together in Modena after all these years (39 years!) of writing and growing a friendship! Of course we toured a balsamic vinegar farmhouse (Leonardi) and then had a tasting along with some Lambrusco. We checked in to our B&B and then headed back to Monica and Danielle's beautiful home for the most incredible dinner - homemade tagliatelle with beef ragu. Also football and card games and dessert.
