Best Green Olives - EVER!

Recently a good friend came over for a visit. We sat and enjoyed a glass of wine and, of course, some cheese. I had purchased some beautiful green olives at Whole Foods that day. The olives were huge, bright green and crisp like fruit in texture. My friend claimed that these olives were the best tasting olive she'd ever had. I was at Whole Foods this morning and saw them at the Olive Bar, I couldn't resist sharing them with everyone.

Enjoy!

My Favorite $20

The Rose guy has returned to the Farmer's Market. Each year he brings these absolutely gorgeous roses in large bouquets. He arrives in May, just in time for Mother's Day. The crowds have thinned out at his booth since last month...and I was able to get a bargain at the end of the day as they are usually $25 per bunch. This was the best $20 I spent all week...

Another Caprese Picture

Now that I'm addicted to Angelo & Franco's fresh mozzarella, the Caprese salad has become a standard Sunday dish after I get home from the Farmer's Market. I picked up some heirloom tomatoes for Cole's BBQ bash and had a few left over. Got the basil at the market and the cheese was the last unsold container for the day... turned out fairly beautiful.

The Cub Scout parents liked it...
