not have 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar. pretty basic but can ruin an afternoon. - try, try, try. we have all ruined recipes. jfood ruined jello when he was 19. now there is no recipe he will not try. it may come out like daniel...

Let’s see...do they have New England style steamers and New England Style hot dog buns in SoCal? Nope. I guess that’s why my Dad always gets those things when he comes back to New England once a year. yeah, sorry to...
