On Friday evening we took Oma and Opa out for the evening. I took Oma to see Evita at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium and it was fantastic. Tom, a work acquaintance, couldn't use his 2 tickets so he offered them to me and I jumped at the chance. They were great orchestra seats and the show was terrific. While we were at the show, Myron took Opa to a pool hall and shot some pool and hoisted a few beers. A very nice evening for all.
Myron and I are intent on increasing our vegetable intake and doing some indoor grilling in order to lose a few extra pounds. So on Saturday we ventured out to buy a good vegetable steamer and a cast iron stove top grille. Then we enjoyed our block party in the cul de sac promptly followed by a drive to Raleigh to attend a Halloween Tango Milonga! Phew...
But Sunday was another gorgeous day and I had read about the health benefits and flavor enhancement of infused oils and balsamic vinegars and we went to Chapel Hill to the Blue Sky Oil and Vinegar Store. It is a new store that specializes in exotic pairings fo flavors with first quality ExtraVirgin Olive Oil from the North and Southern hemisphere depending on when each presses!!! Amazing.It was taste delight and we purchased some specialty vinegars and oils to doctor up our vegetables and grilled fishes.
Here is picture of our purchases. It includes: garlic infused oil, lemon infused oil, toasted sesame oil, roasted almond oil, blueberry balsamic, vanilla balsamic and grapefruit balsamic. There we so many to taste at the store that it was difficult to choose. Tonight we had a Kale Salad with the lemon oil and grapfruit balsamic. We cooked Cod with the garlic oil and blueberry balsamic... Explosive flavors with minimal calories and healthy antioxidants and loads of Vitamin E. Love ya all
Anna and Myron
