I have a love affair with olives. Lately, I want them all the time. I don't usually have them at home, but any sandwich I get at work must have olives. black olives to be precise. It's not so much the taste. Well, a little the taste...but even moreso I like the color and texture it adds to a sandwich. As a bonus, I found out that olives are a good source of monounsaturated fats (can help lower the risk of cellular damage and inflammation) and vitamin E (antioxidant)...so this makes me love olives even more.
In other randomness, I started growing my own garlic. It wasn't intentional. I had a lonely forgotten bulb in my refrigerator, and one day I noticed it was not only there, but it was sprouting. Then i read a little and discovered that fall is a great time to plant garlic...so i took that little clove sprout and made it a home in my window. Now I have a green shoot about 8 inches tall. I'll have fresh garlic! (eventually) I'm not really a green thumb, so when a chance plant event occurs...I figure I best make the most of it and propigate away.
Thus ends my ode to olives and garlic. Happy N'oreaster Tuesday.
