Some vinegar will evaporate, but if you don't like the taste of vinegar,
stop using sauces that have it as a primary ingredient. Use ground, dried
peppers. Penzey's has a wide variety and you can add them to dishes with
impunity. If you need it liquid, then make your own sauce out of it without
vinegar.

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians are an affront to
Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that the church's founder, Henry
VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, his wife Anne Boleyn, his wife Jane
Seymour, his wife Anne of Cleves, his wife Catherine Howard and his wife
Catherine Parr are no longer here to suffer through this assault on our
"traditional Christian marriage."
