Olive YOU!

I love Olives. This may be an understatement. I REALLY love Olives. I have loved Olives since I could chew solid food. I remember putting canned jumbo black olives on each one of my fingers and eating them off systematically. I think that it was because my mother craved salt when she was pregnant with me. She religiously ate cream chipped beef. Now, I don't eat beef, but she said it was so salty that it was close to the equivalent of pouring salt down your throat. Below is a picture of my favorite Olive Bar. It's at Safeway. They have a Greek Olive Medley that is absolutely to die for... and this amazing Feta and Greek Olive Salad.

   In other unrelated news, I'm going to be playing in a charity soccer game next weekend... and I'm freaking excited. I played soccer for a good chunk of my childhood. I loved it. I was never that competitive, but I keep telling J (who organized the team), that I want to win. He reminds me it's for charity, and I remind him that we're going to be supporting the charity, but we may as well win while we're doing it. We're having a practice on Saturday morning. We'll see how it goes. I can talk a good game, and I hope my gams can still back it up. I'll keep you updated!
