Hello folks,
I received olive oil for Christmas - went to the cupboard and I
already have 3 bottles of it! Plus 2 bottles of balsamic vinegar.
Clearly I'm not using it as fast as I am receiving it.
Do any of you have great recipes for using these ingredients? I
would like to try them out.
Thanks,

My husband is a wood turner & he works a lot with olive wood. When he is
turning the wood - because it is "green wood", the garage smells like
olive
oil. He said his hands have never been softer, because the oil from the
wood is moisturizing his hands. His hands are smoother than mine are!!

I never knew there was oil in the wood - the oil you buy is extracted from
the fruit. How interesting.

I have one of those "Seal-a-Meal" machines that I use mostly for
freezing meats. Add raw chicken or pork to the bag, add a little
balsamic vinegar and your favorite spices. Turn on the machine, suck
the air out and seal the bag. Toss in freezer. When you need the meat,
just cook it however you ordinarily would. The vinegar, which has now
permeated the meat, gives a really great extra zing to the flavor.

I had never tasted Balsamic until just a few years ago and I am
practically addicted to the stuff now. Just talking about it makes me
salivate. I also add some to olive oil, a little parmesan cheese and
garlic as a dip for crusty bread. Yum! I think I'll make some tomorrow
with home made Italian bread and spaghetti and meatballs.

I also mix olive oil and balsamic with a little spicy mustard and a bit
of parmesan cheese for a salad dressing.

Now I really am drooling.

Maybe you have a friend close by you could share some of this with?
Barbara in SC who uses olive oil in about everything, even to season
vegetables & fry with.

Wow, I wonder how this post from 2004 got resurrected?

Hopefully Jo has used up her olive oil and vinegar stash in the last 9
years :-)

It happens sometimes on googlegroups (where the reply came from), that
old messages surface, and people don't pay attention to the dates at all.

On a few Danish groups I read, this happens every week and the replies
are always from people who (1) don't normally post in the group (is
Roberta Jones one of "our" Robertas?) and (2) are never heard from again!

Roberta Jones: please come join us in all things quilting (and many
things life)!

Well, considering I asked 8 1/2 years ago.... I have got through all
that oil and vinegar, some time ago. But I'll try your recipes in
future, thank you.
