Yup....the old guy was having a "senior moment" and I can hear all the 
comments bout that one, all the way from NZ Ohio Indiana, and all else 
feel free to join in! I just checked my cupboard, two kinds of that 
clear white stuff, one 5% one pickling 7% as well as apple cider 
vinegar, the dark brown malt vinegar, which is what I should have said 
to start with, two different bottles of Balsamic, one ordinary, one 
expensive, so good that it can be taken from a spoon....mmmmmmm, and one 
bottle of home made rasberry vinegar, as well as rice wine vinegar, 
which I am partial to if making a hot and sour soup, with lotsa chiles.
Speaking of chiles, I have a loin roast cooking at the moment in a 
concoction of tomatilla and green chile, unfortunately didn't have any 
cilantro, and too lazy to go out and buy some, it is raining, but then 
it is also November and that means that in BC it rains! It's OK tho, we 
don't have to shovel it! Cheers, Doug in BC, suitably chastened
