Vinairegrette

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: vin ee re gret

Sentence: Rosemary knew that her husband Basil was up to his old tricks again. Despite his being warned of the consequences.

She would artichoke him, then beet him, pepper him with a salt and they'd eventually find his chard romaines in her backyard, where there was not mushroom. Yes, Basil would vinairegrette his capers and rue the day he'd given Rosemary such a hard thyme!
