-=> Quoting "Sandy Olson" to All <=- "O> Kudos to Scott Parkhurst for his wonderful hot olives! They are indeed tasty. My granddaughter bought me some commercially made ones last Christmas. She was a tad over two at the time and already a confirmed Chile Head. She decided that Grandma and me should hang stockings by the fireplace beside hers. And she went out with her aunt to find stocking stuffers for us. She grabbed a bottle of jalapeno stuffed olives in the gourmet aisle of the supermarket. When the cashier told her she wouldn't like them because they were hot, she said," I know that. They're for Grandpa.... but I like them too." Which totally floored the clerk. (The rest of her order was hot cinnamon candy, licorice, blood oranges and pistachio nuts allof which also amazed the clerk. She only bought stuff for us that she liked too.... little sneak!)
