This strikes a chord in me I am reluctant to own.
It conjures up my mother's "I'm sorry's". A consistent refrain
I hear echoed in my own speech, making me cringe.
I also remember her frequent admonishment about
catching more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Still today, I wince at the "vinegary" thoughts
running through my head as a result of tamping myself down;
not to mention what comes out of my mouth at times.
It makes accepting myself as I am difficult.
My astrigent tendencies repel me.
This made me wonder about the combination of the two.
Here's what AI says about mixing honey with vinegar:
"When combined, honey and vinegar create a taste that is both sweet and tangy
with the honey's sweetness balancing out the vinegar's acidity,
often described as a "balanced" or "complex" flavor profile;
this mixture is commonly called "honey vinegar"
and is often used in salad dressings and marinades."
I can take "balanced" and "complex".
Namaste'
