Feminism, or, sign o' the times

[trixtah]

I had no less than FOUR of my blokey team members standing around today chatting on the relative merits of various brands of Dijon mustard to give homemade vinaigrette the perfect touch.

This was AFTER a several minute discourse among the same individuals on the benefits of slow-cooking, and the best ethnic cookbook out there (apparently a Croatian one is a win for my team).

And people wonder if feminism has achieved anything. lol.

(After that, it was all on regarding tonight's rugby game, but I'm all about people not feeling boxed in)

But the best vinaigrette depends on what you're putting it on!

... I have vanilla and cinnamon balsamic vinegar in my cupboard. That stuff counts as a vinaigrette all by itself and I occasionally catch myself wanting to put it on icecream...

Totally agree - I really like vinaigrettes with a bit of fruitiness to them for certain things. And a lime vinaigrette with fish is yummo.

But you know, I didn't want to complicate matters too much with the guys - they'd still be arguing about it now (the best rub for steak on the barbecue kept them occupied for hours).

The infused vinegar I mentioned is one I bought in Canberra, by the way - made by Pukara Estate, I picked it up at a Markets (I think it was Fyshwick Markets, but I can't be sure). They have many many tasty, and I'd have bought more except I didn't have the budget to :P

Nom. I shall keep an eye out, then, on my market travels. :-)
