LOL, brian, I’ve used balsamic vinegar on my veggies and salads for many years, sometimes with light olive oil on my salad and sometimes not.
In a couple of months, I’m not going to have anyone to “cook for” except myself. So I’ve already started paring down my pantry and frig to just what I will eat. It’s going to be liberating to be able to cook only what I want and not have to satisfy a “teenager’s” tastes. I’ve tried to teach them what I learned about a good diet and exercise but have never had control over these things 24/7/365. I bought a hotpot that turns off automatically for their dorm room and they will bring a used small frig and the roommate will bring a microwave. Fortunately, the kids will have access to a Farmers Market while at college and, of course, will use will their food points as they wish at the cafeteria or food court (I fear coffees and smoothies, mostly). I’ve done all I could, and, except for paying the campus room/board bill, my kid’s diet is not my problem anymore. They either learned from my (boring) example of maybe 5-6 dishes I know how to make well … or they didn’t. Every adult has to find their own food path … what works for them.
