Thanks so much Sabrina. I put the olives in jars and they should be ready to eat soon. So I don’t know yet. Can’t wait!

I just bloghopped to your site and read a couple of entries – let me tell you, I like your blog, your style of living and writing already! :)

So, how did the olives turn out?

Thanks everyone. I tasted one of the pickling olives on day 30, even though they’re not yet ready, and it was still sooo bitter! Will keep you posted on how they turn out.

Beautiful writing and delicious result by the sound of it. Will Web 3.0 have a taste markup language?

My mouth was watering when I read that recipe for Noah’s olives.

You should sell some online!

It doesn’t get better than that, does it? Hope they come out well and that you, Rick and all your friends and neighbours enjoy every single one.

You have a beautiful way of telling your story. The entire experience with the olives sounds fascinating.

I’m struck by the juxtaposition of the importance of the olives not getting too wet for the pressing, and the soaking of the olives for pickling.

Can’t wait to read more!
