From Blech To Delicious In One Bite

I stumbled upon something delicious today.

Last week I read in a magazine that balsamic vinegar drizzled over strawberries is — and I quote, “Amazing.”

My reaction was more like — and I quote, “Blech.”

That doesn’t sound very good, does it? The blurb said it makes less-than-ripe strawberries delicious, and ripe strawberries— well, we’ve already been down that road.

I can’t resist organic strawberries on sale even though it’s a little early in the season, at least here in Colorado. But I bought some and chose a few to complement* my breakfast this morning (leftover Chicken-and-Waffles … yum!) Imagine my surprise when they were a tad unripe.

Further imagine my surprise that I remembered something I read in a magazine last week!

So I sliced and drizzled.

Might I just say — and I quote, “Delicious!”

*I originally typed ‘compliment’ and it made me giggle and spin off into “What If Land” momentarily. What do you think my strawberries would say to my leftover Chicken-and-Waffles? Have you ever had strawberries drizzled with balsamic vinegar? Will you now?
