Friday's musts: olives, hummus and salami

We met Fran and Jack at the Green Valley Ranch. The girls went shopping while the guys sat in the sun. Just as the girls were finishing, the guys had decided to go in to the Casino.

We hung out for a little while, then decided to make dinner reservations. Fran and Jack agreed to meet us at the restaurant (Tuscany Grille). We stopped at the grocery store to pick up more hummus.

And olives.

Because when we were at the grocery the other day I saw the olive bar, but I didn't buy any.

And now I need olives.

Because I love olives.

The first time I ever had an olive was on our cruise in 2007. We were in Nice, France at an open air market. Bill had picked some out some Nicoise olives. I wasn't going to try one, but then decided, "hey, when in Rome... or France" and I tried one.

They were good. I had no idea I liked olives!

I've tried them all now. My favorite are Kalamata (pits in tact).

So while we were at the store, we hit the olive bar.

It was the perfect nosh. It hit the spot.

That's what Fridays are for.
