Simple Homemade Gift No. 1

A pretty cork-stoppered bottle filled with a simple vinaigrette.  My crowd pleasing recipe came via the chef at a house we stayed at on Mustique while on one of Bill's shoots for the Conde Nast Traveler.  She said she got it via the New York Times years ago.
6 TBS (or parts) Olive Oil

3 TBS (or parts) White Vinegar

1 TBS (or part) Sugar

1 TBS (or part) French’s Yellow Mustard

salt and pepper

dried basil

1 or more crushed clove garlic


I include the recipe on a hang-tag, crediting Matilda form Mustique.
