Aren't they beautiful?

One of the lucky finds in Japan for me has been that olives are grown here, and that most people do nothing with them.

"Waste not." I like to say.

Do I eat olives every day? No.

But, every once in a while, they are good for snacking. Sometimes they are used in cooking. Sometimes we put them in salads. On pizza. Pit them and make a paste.

Whichever which way, they are good. They don't require much work to pickle them, and they last for a long time.

One more item from my list of fall tasks has been checked off.

Nice.
