This weekend we had family over for dinner on a night when I was trying something new, which is about as adventurous as I get these days. The food and wine were consumed with enthusiasm, and I felt really good.

It turns out we were fortunate to have leftovers. I tried something new again this evening, this time with just the wife and kids, and it was almost a complete disaster. The only one that liked it was me.

Note to self: Cheryl and the kids HATE balsamic vinegar.
