Sun 4th Sept - Olives With Everything!

[ROB OWENS]

Hi,

Had Italian bread with mixed salad, smoked salmon and OLIVES!!! mmmmm
Recently tasted some pickled olives with garlic and lemon!! Can't leave them alone!!!

So, have you rediscovered anything that has been round for ages, but you've only recently got the hots for???....yes yes we know about the new big blonde barmaid at the pub.......hahaha

Roast Lamb & vegetables

I suppose you could say I've rediscovered Strats, Fender BTW, again. Been dabbling with Gibson & PRS for a while, but decided that for me, a Strat offers everything I want. So I now have 3, or 4 if you count the one I loaned to my son, and any new guitars for me in the future, are likely to be Strats.

Goats cheese salad in a lovely Cafe Bar in Stow on the Wold


two words - Jaffa cakes, can't get enough of them, haven't had then for years until the wife picked up a packet a few months back.

Had a roast dinner lined up, but made some stir fry and noodles then didn't bother with the roast.


Food wise I like fish (crab cakes for sure) and definatley olives too. Stuffed ones, green, black you name it. I'm a sucker for Jaffa cakes also. Partial to the odd double Decker, but I can take or leave sweets - so long as I have something else to eat. I'd rather have a really good main course and skip starters and desert - unless we're talking cheese cake or spotted dick - that's a different matter.

Other than that I'd say I have gained an appetite for playing to people a lot more recently. Work comitments prevented this in the last ten years to a certain extent.

Can't remember...Oh yeah, Taco Bell.


Rediscovering my Telecaster lately. Love the tone and work it takes to make a tele work for you. Humbuckers make it all easier. I missed that with the Tele in the case for awhile.

[bleujazz3]

Yes, and I've been gassing for a Martin guitar pretty badly lately. Decisions, decisions. And, oh yes, a double thick cheeseburger, lettuce, pickles, and an iced doffee.

Olive oil in gazpacho - don't leave home without it.

Quince jelly with tetilla cheese is a great combination as well :dude:

We're not talking about olives? I love olives, most kinds anyway. I'm not much for some of those puckered black Greek olives. But any kind of green olive, I eat those like candy.

Speaking of those puckered black Greek olives, they say that when you use steroids, your balls shrink. The ex-Mrs. Jose Canseco verified that recently. The olives made me think of Barry Bonds. Ok, I'm done.

Eventually I believe they resemble raisins.

[jas]

By "they" I assume you're taking about both Greek olives and Barry Bonds' balls.

I had rigitoni with marinara sauce.

I, like John Reardon, have been playing my Strats and P90 gold top alot recently and just last night I plugged in my Duo Jet and nailed a tone that gave me goose bumps. Maybe I just wanna do a little more work, but i'm really digging the single coli tone alot more than humbucker tone right now. Now, If I could just find a CU22 Soapbar and an old EG.

[Sherpa]

Correct on both counts, Sir. In addition, I'd wager that they are the source of most Greek plonk from what I gather from what the local Greek restaurants serve under the heading "Greek wine" ;)

[jas]

I would cede some of my testicle real estate to eminent domain if it meant I could hit like Bonds.

Correct on both counts, Sir. In addition, I'd wager that they are the source of most Greek plonk from what I gather from what the local Greek restaurants serve under the heading "Greek wine" ;) I gotta back you up there JP. It's official - fermented olives / bbb would be just one way to describe it ..I can vouch for that! A trip to a local wine factory did have me trying some of their 'top notch' plonk. Shocking ..truly shocking!

[Sherpa]

Thanks, Darren. Misery loves company.

At least we can consider ourselved "wormed" after having had a glass of two of olive Chianti with a twist (of God knows what).;)
