Improvisation - Reduction

So last night after some weak crap, I needed to re-affirm myself with learning new things, which would be culinary.

Learning how to slice an onion along with experimentation of different knives led led to two things: discovery of the sharpest kitchen knife along with learning how to use these knives as well. Chopping an onion as taught by Gordon Ramsay actually led to me being able to get finely diced onions without shedding a tear (although a few did threaten to come out!)

So I basically threw together a delicious recipe while learning how to make a sauce.

halved Cherry tomatoes
Diced yellow onion
small salt potatoes diced
Farfalle pasta
Balsamic Vinegar
Parsley

sauteed cherry tomatoes/onions with salt potatoes added later, farfalle is cooked al dente, Balsamic vinegar was reduced while being whisked with a fork (an actual whisk is needed in this case) and parsley added on top of potatoes. mixture added to pasta then

next time, add a tablespoon of sugar to balsamic vinger to make it even more sweet. and Drizzle LIGHTLY, not so heavy since it's so flavorful.
