Must truly have been freezing during our snowy days and in summer she goes a dark brown from the sun. Her husband goes to a cafe and sits drinking beer!<br />She would be delighted to tell you about her olives. They always give us a couple of plastic bottles of her olives, as does Vaso, and we preserve our own. local alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-49503645375786239002017-02-09T20:50:16.489-08:002017-02-09T20:50:16.489-08:00I think this is the first time I've ever seen ...I think this is the first time I've ever seen Greeks wearing scarves etc. May I ask that you consult Roula about Olive preparation when the time comes.
