Always great; I added about 1/3 teas. sugar too. Made for O is for Oct. event. -
I grew up with this being a staple on the table for many dinners at our house. My gram would also add a little sugar in with the vinegar and a splash of water, and it gives it a really nice flavor. Sometimes she would just slice up cucumbers or just onion slices and use the vinegar and sugar and a splash of water... YUM... Brings back so many fond memories :)

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p>
