[Sca-cooks] oil & vinegar dressings

[vhsjvs at gis.net]

you know what I do when it gels in the fridge?  I nuke it for 30
seconds!  I never buy store bought cause I cant stand the sugar they
always put.  I have always made my own.  If you go through your
vinaigrette pretty fast, you should not need to keep it in the fridge. 
I only do because of space constraints.
