Today I did something I haven't done for years. I can't remember the last time I used white distilled vinegar, other than for cleaning and weed maintenance, that is. I don't think I've used white vinegar for any culinary use in something like 20 years. But today I harvested the chive flowers, remembered the beautiful pink, fragrant and flavorful vinegar that I used to make in my first 10 years of organic gardening and thought, "What the heck."
Infused vinegars are simple to make. Just fill a jar with a delicious or nutritious botanical, cover it with vinegar (I usually use apple cider), cap it, and let it macerate for several weeks, then strain, bottle, label and enjoy.
I made face number 24 for 29 Faces in May. She's in my BoD journal, offering the observation of the annual incessant whine of a neighbor's pool filter.
That's what I made today.
Peace.

Your vinegar infusion sounds lovely, thanks for sharing the info on how to make it, I will have to try it. Your girl is very pretty, I like how you have painted over the collaged background. I bet that pool filter is annoying!
I use ACV to bathe in, but I can't say I've used it to do much cooking! Although that infused vinegar sounds delicious and I have no doubt it's SO good for you :)
And another beautiful face for 29 faces-She kind of looks like someone's sweet grandmother to me ^.^
Great Face!!! So tomorrow I will be doing the sage vinegar! My chive blossoms are already eaten so I'll have to wait for a second bloom for that one :0)
She looks wary!
What a sweet little face! I love her!
