Something different.

Have you ever heard of a food combination you would not think could possibly go well together?  One of the more recent recipes was adding balsamic vinegar to ice cream.  Ice cream?  Well, yes, even a dirty dog gets a treat from time to time.  Anyway...  I was feeling just ballsy enough to test that tonight.  No worries, I knew it would be terrible, so I put a little bit on a small amount in a secondary dish.  And?

Wow.  That was good.  I have some better, if only compared to typically American, balsamic vinegar.  It's better than what you would find in any general store.  But it is inferior to Italian better, far below best.  Though... there is something odd about Europeans and some of these items.  I won't spend hundreds, or thousands, of dollars on a condiment.  I won't even lay out $50.  According to many Americans, though, I spent WAY too much on this imported goop.  Suit yourself.  Just a bit more is worth it, for me.  And it's not like I drink it.  A bottle of this stuff, between salad dressing and ice cream, and a few other items I will test it with, will last two years, or more.  And, yeah, $10 to $15 a year for a condiment I love?  I can do that.

Not just a Hound.  Perhaps not always right.  But I have dealt with vipers and survived their poison more than once.  And I won't go down easily.  If you are going to do it?  I suggest you just do it.  Shut up.  And do it.  Or prepare to be handled.

If I have to lose, I won't lose alone.  Though... I don't think I have to lose.  We'll see.
