Sometime back in the 90s, I recall reading an article that proclaimed you were a yuppie (roughly defined as a Beamer-driving, condo-residing, dressing-for-success Young Urban Professional) if you had more than three types of vinegar.
I remember getting a kind of sinking
feeling in my stomach, because at that time I knew my pantry held apple cider,
red wine, white, white wine and sherry vinegars. I also had EVOO, corn oil and
peanut oil.
So, after yesterday’s confessional
exercise, I thought I’d take
inventory. Yeah—so far over the line.
Vinegars:
Oils:
(The peanut oil lives in the refrigerator because it goes rancid at room temperature after being opened. And the Wegman's basting oil is something they gave away for getting their shopping card, back in the 90s, which I've never opened.)
And a bunch of infused olive oils my sister gave me for Christmas possibly 15 years ago, which I should probably start using.
I am somewhat curious about the chocolate one.
