I made two mistakes that turned out to be quite tasty!
Mistake 1
I use rice wine vinegar for a tomato, onion and cucumber salad that is delicious. Last time I bought the vinegar, I inadvertently bought the "seasoned" version of the vinegar. Bottles looked the same - I just grabbed one off the shelf w/o reading the label. (Turns out I actually prefer the "seasoned" version.)
Mistake 2
A few weeks ago - I was making lunch .... the tomato/onion/cucumber salad and avocado toast. Bowls were next to each other on the counter.
I usually put a "squirt"of lime juice in my mashed avocado (along with some other tasty stuff).
Got the vinegar out of the cabinet and w/o thinking - poured a bit into the mashed avocado bowl rather than the salad. So, I skipped adding the lime juice.
Result:
The avocado tasted fantastic!
This morning I made avocado toast for breakfast and just add the vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few "grinds" of Italian seasoning ....DELICIOUS

Isn't it great when things like that turn out!

@ALRATIBAWho wouldn't like a little extra sugar and salt? Both your mistakes sound like the perfect uses for your vinegar! Now I want avocado toast!

@ALRATIBA Did you mention which seasoned vinegar you got? Like teas, I have bottles of vinegar in my cupboard, and one more won't hurt!

It's Nakano Rice Vinegar (seasoned Mild & Sweet). There are a lot of flavored vinegars, but I don't know if all grocers carry them.

After all these years, this is exactly how I like to cook; take things you like, put it together and see what you get. Trial and error cooking.

Thanks @ALRATIBA for reminding me about seasoned rice vinegar. I love to keep an array of vinegars to spike the flavor in just about anything I cook. Bought some today. Now my vinegar collection is pretty complete, but there is always room for more......
