I keep meaning to write down my balsamic dressing recipe and I always forget to do it, mainly because I'm a bit unsure of all the proportions. I do a lot of "eyeballing" with this dressing.
Tonight I tried to pay attention and measure out the amounts. Basically it's 1 part vinegar to 2 parts olive oil. The rest is a bit dicier. Case in point: After adding too much mustard, I had to double the recipe to compensate for overdoing it with that particular ingredient.
Of note: One of "Bob's" Christmas gifts was an immersion blender. What ever did we do before they were invented?

Yes, an immersion blender is indeed a wonderful thing. Especially for soups.
