I love olives!

I have always loved olives.  It is probably the one thing that defines me from the Big Guy who turns purple if he gets near one.

I am not sure how it started but it seemed my brother and I were always running to the refrigerator for a handful as a snack.  I still remember my mom reminding us to use a spoon since we were not the only ones eating them!  Ironically, we were but that didn’t stop mom from teaching us food etiquette.
​
As the years have gone by, I still love them. I’ll cut them up and put them in my salads, but my favorite is to take pitted olives and stuff them with blue cheese.  YUM!  Talk about pumping up my martini and truly making it a special happy hour.  Come on 5:00!
