That antique mall reminds me of my island farmhouse...

I often make my vinaigrette in a cruet and love the shape, though it’s not antique. The connection to communion rituals is a fascinating tidbit. Thanks for the stories, the recipe with miso and the always delightful illustrations. Happy Thanksgiving, Vicki!

Nothing beats a Sunday stroll through vintage market stalls! Huge fan of the artefacts of the past here, in the future I'd love to have a larger house with a dedicated room so I could buy more of those 😆

You had me at "miso vinaigrette"! It seems like a versatile sauce for many types of salads and also a nice light sauce for roasted vegetables. I liked your story of your parents antiquing--what a cool hobby that they shared!

I used to love to go antiquing. I collect salt and pepper shakers. I didn’t know about the cut glass part of cruets. The thing I learned today! I use roasted garlic to infuse olive oil, pretty awesome too!
