About olives....

A bit ago BB posted that she had just discovered that she really liked the taste of green olives (stuffed with pimentos) and Keebler Club whole grain crackers.


That really caught my attention as I love olives (green or black!). So I tired it.  Nice!  Then I decided that I'd like to take it another step, so I took some whipped cream cheese and cut up green, pimento stuffed, olives in it and added just enough olive juice to make it mixable.  Spread that on a wheat cracker.  Oh my!!!!


I've not tried it with black olives yet, but I may!


I got the last of the ice broken up at the end of my driveway today. I ended up taking some really hot water out there to pour on and under it.  That stuff was about 2" thick!!  It is raining now and the temp is around 45º.  With any luck the chunks I left in the street will be melted soon!








            




You are loved ~~ far more than you may ever know!

It's has been many years since I last yhad one. With the cost of living gone up so much, they probably charge for the extras today.

I am using Chrome browser so I can't use the colored stuff but it is a tad faster than IE. Anyway....
I think that cream cheese would make anything taste good. I think I said that when I was a kid I would eat the red and my aunt would eat the green out of the olives. Now I like both parts...but partial to the red.....NOW I find out that all they are is red peppers and you can buy them in a jar by themselves...How about that?.lol
Del don't like olives so when we get a pizza or should I say when we used to get pizza we liked everything on them and he would pick the black olives off and put them on my half of the pizza...lol

I mean cream cheese and spinach. I would never eat spinach when I was a kid. It was green and slimy...they should have dried it off and mixed it with CC and I would have eaten it.

We have been trying a lot of different things the last few years and I think it is because of the Food Network. Even Del will see something on there and say that looks good....and you know how hard it is for me to get him to suggest something to fix...
We are supposed to eat meat that is the size of a deck of cards, it makes him feel like he is missing something. So I take a small pork loin and pound the heck out of it and bread it and make like a chicken fried steak sorta....and a little milk gravy and I can make him very happy.....lol..

The wind is trying to blow me to Kansas the last couple days and I am so ready for spring and it is only January....then we get flurries and you can't hardly see across the street then it is gone. But I am not ready to go south in the winter either.....


Retired and lovin'it.
