Speaking of Olives, JackB

Just thought I'd link an article about the Olive orchards around here.

Thanks Marshall! Interesting. Another aspect of olives is that they are a health food. My doctor, who also has a Master's degree in nutrition, told me: "I want you to eat so much olive oil that you leave a ring of it around the tub when you take a bath." We hit the olive bar in the market a few times a week and cook with olive oil.

Hmmm, need some olive oil drink recipes then!

Howzabout for dinner desert, In the blender, mixed at high speed to froth it,

1 cup hearty zinfandel wine
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup frozen yogurt, raspberry
1 cup fresh blackberries

blend at high speed until frothed

serve fresh

(if the entire recipe is had by a single person, ensure a warm spt on the couch is prepared in advance for sleeping it off!)

dr. marshall's prescriptive orders are to have this recipe and variations of it nightly.

for breakfast, replace the zinfandel with a fine true fruit juice of your choice.
