World Vinegar Day

It's World Vinegar Day!  Woot, Woot!

If you know me and my addiction to love of white vinegar then you know that I can't let this day go by without recognizing it!  I use white vinegar for EVERYTHING!  RT describes my use of white vinegar similar to the father in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," who used Windex for everything.  My answer?  Hey, it works!

Vinegar is a common household product.  It can be used to zest up a salad, in a marinade, it is also used in canning (pickles or pickled jalapeños) and can also be used as a cleaning agent (add a little baking soda for some cleaning fun).

Vinegar is produced by a fermentation process.  There are many types of vinegar:  Apple Cider, Balsamic, Beer, Cane, Coconut, flavored vinegar, fruit, kombucha, malt, rice, white and wine...just to name a few.

Vinegar can be used in food preparation or salads or marinades.  It is used in condiments like ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce and even mayonnaise.   It is used as a flavoring for potato chips.  Vinegar can be a substitute for lemon juice.  It can be used in sushi rice.  Vinegar is used for medical remedies and treatments.   In fact, some forms of vinegar are believed to have health benefits.   Vinegar is used for cleaning and disinfecting.  Vinegar is also used in gardening and in pest control.

How to celebrate Vinegar Day?  How about cleaning?  Instead of Spring Cleaning, do a little Winter Cleaning.  The holidays are coming up what a great time to give your house a little once over with vinegar before all of the festivities begin.  As it gets colder outside, more time is spent indoors.  Why not start the season off with a clean house?

Don't feel like going all out and cleaning?  How about a salad with a vinaigrette dressing?

Oh, yea, you can participate on social media by using #nationalvinegarday.
