My little addition...I LOVE balsamic vinegar poured on top of olive oil to dip bread in...it gives it such a yummy sweet yet sour flavor and is a super easy little appetizer! <br /><br />And I'm sure one day you will have a cute larger pantry that you can organize to your hearts content!<3Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314390334529982061.post-47526455242209898082009-09-15T13:04:37.152-07:002009-09-15T13:04:37.152-07:00side note:
