Thank you, that sounds completely delicious. I can’t wait to try it! Well I do have to wait, I have to get down the stairs first. lol
I learn something new every day. So according to this Canadian guy a Kalamata Olive IS those Black Olives we buy in the store.
Here along the river inlets where I live, there are WILD Olive trees growing that look like his. I have never got close enough to see IF there are Olives growing on them but there must be.
I LOVE the SMELL of those trees. A LOT of people complain about them saying they are allergic to the smell.

Lol I laughed at “fiet” Dolly. Is that a combo of two words because you’re mad at your diet. Like “fugly”? I heard that one out in the shop a few times during my working years. Lol not directed at me....just the guys joking in a not very gentlemanly fashion when I happened to overhear.
Right back atcha, Olive....I mean Kalamata!
nice!!
I thought kalamata was a variety...I need to watch the vid
Anyway you reminded me that we had olive trees planted all over in bakersfield. The city used them as ornamental trees. So I would go around and pick the olives, I could get as many as I wanted. I learned how to brine them and store them in olive oil some Just in brine, and I think I even did some salted. I miss having those. I kind of thought of it as a self-sufficiency thing, I’m sure olives are survival food...
Well that was interesting.....he soaks them with water right out of the Mediterranean Sea! Cool beans! I watched it right to the end, yup, I watched olive it lololohhahahahahahbwahaha. Ok, I’m done with my olive jokes.
Oh I liked that one as well. Now that I’m brushed up on my kalamata olives, I can find out about Nights in White Satin!
Where else is there such a treasure trove of interesting topics at our disposal!
Check out the “official” video. Wow. How times have changed.

Thanks for posting. It is NOW open for the public to see on facebook.
IF only people would take the time to really learn who Trump is. They would SEE he has a caring heart for ALL people.
Down the stairs? Did you have an accident? Surgery? I don’t normally follow this group and don’t know what happened...
Best watched with a bong and some righteous weed.
I think most people who knew about Trump know he is very caring. That all changed when he ran for president....as a Republican. A lifetime of good deeds went out the window, thanks to the criminal media.
Oh dear. Of which I have neither lol. Will a glass of White Zinfandel work?
Are you getting the hick-ups now too? Or has YOUR finger gotten to heavy to get off the mouse/keyboard like dj’s and it needs exercise :-)
Pinot Grigio would be better.
Thank you for the link. That guy must his kalamatas just like me, he is lucky he can grow his own.
There is another kind of Greek olive that is also delicious, and tastes quite different from the kalamatas.
It is round and large, not those little ones that have shriveled up skins.
I have also purchased them in large quantities and re-brined them to my own tastes.
Many years ago, they did not fill the olive jars with water and a little vinegar. They used real olive oil and a little red vinegar.
The best brand was Kronos (or Krinos), can’t remember which one. Don’t know if they are still around, but they are the deluxe quality brand.
The ones they sell in Walmart are ok, just not as good quality as Kronos. I still buy them as they are expensive enough, LOL.
I didn’t know olives grew in colder climates.
Thanks for sharing your kalamata story. It was a good read.
My late mother said it sounded like souls suffering in Purgatory.
