You may know that I love a good martini. You may not know that I love to chew pieces off my olives as I drink my martini. I just adore bitting off tiny pieces of delicious olive goodness with every sip.. leaving behind remnants of olive and pimento. As I gnaw the pieces off with my snaggle,.. small pieces just float around and it just terrifies Pat. He can hardly believe that i destroy the look of my martini in such a way. He gets grossed out every time.. he just does not understand it.. kind of like when I order an expensive steak and ask for it well done with ketchup….

There was a time when I actually hated olives. Couldn’t stand them. I remember watching Pat eat one after the other until the olive jar was depleted of olives and then I would squish up my face in disgust when he drank the olive juice out of the jar. ewwwww! After years of him making me try an olive here and there, I eventually developed a liking to them, and now I love them! Give me a martini and I’ll drink it. Give me a martini with some olives and I’ll sip and nibble for hours. And if you say the words “olive juice” it appears you are mouthing the words “i love you”
