Thought I'd share with you some ingredients I couldn't do without in my kitchen. This week it is Vinegar.

It's the best balsamic vinegar I've ever had hands down. People who know me know I'm obsessed with vinegars. Loved them since I was a kid.

They are excellent for breadings, and make an excellent filler in things like crab cakes. Many Asian specialty stores carry panko, and panko are also available in some conventional grocery stores, especially those in urban areas. Several things set panko aside from regular bread crumbs.
