I love olives
and so does my cat. I apparently spilled a little olive brine on my skirt, and as I type this he's frantically licking the fabric.


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm olives

3. My daughters, both grown women now, used to love to do that!
My mother gave them cans of Jumbo black olives as a Christmas gift every year.

4. I did that to our friends' little boy.
He was about 3.
"Kerry. Gimme your finger."
He did, and I put a ripe olive on it.

He was just totally non-plussed.
Looked at it.
Shook his hand.
The olive stayed on his finger.
Shook it some more.
Like a cat with wet paws.
It stayed on.

He looked at me with this absolutely PLEADING expression.
"GET IT OFF!"
I did.
I'm SUCH a jerk.
;-)

19. Well, there are Olives in my Garden.
They fall from the neighbor's tree. Messy little things. }(
But for eating, it's Kalamata all the way, baby.

8. I'm mad about olives!
Can't get enough of them. In fact, I just swallowed one that was stuffed with blue cheese. Green, black, almond-stuffed, onion-stuffed, just put them in front of me and they'll disappear.

21. kalamatas are my favs.
eat 'em plain -- or a little rosemary, a little garlic a little lemon juice and rind -- all mashed up and then to meet the chicken!

pushed under the skin and into the cavity -- yummy!
