I feel like Sheldon who learned how to swim by watching the internet and practicing on the floor. Whenever I watch shows on food channels, I think that I should try that, or maybe I could do that too; but more often than not I am thinking that there is nooooo way I could do what the chef is doing. I love to watch the shows and now that I have accepted that I will never BE a chef, I look for the ideas that are easy to integrate into to what I do and leave it at that. I have gotten much better with meats, learned to like butter (Thank you Alton) and learned to accept that I do not like the flavor of olive oil, even if it is good for you. :)
So the tip for today has to do with the cooking helpers - oil and vinegr. There are a lot of different oils and the prices are all over the place as well. They do have different tastes and vinegar is another often used ingredient with many different uses, prices and flavors. Growing up I have always liked lemon but it has taken me a long time to learn to appreciate vinegar.
Here are 2 links to help learn more about them and to see what you like best.
