 I made the sweet and sour vegetables last night and I reallyy liked them.
 My husband thought they were too sour, but I thought the sweet and sour
 mixture was just right. If it is too sour, you could cut out some of the
 vinegar. Can anyone guess as to how much fat is in this recipe? It did not
 give any information. Well, here is the recipe.
