Extra virgin sacrifice in fact. (I always wondered how that worked. Seems like a binary kind of deal. You is or you ain't... there's not really an extra credit question on the test.

That's 7 more olives than our big ones gave this year.<br />The olive press is so imPRESSive. <br /><br />In the early 70s I'd take my little son to that museum. All he ever wanted to do there was play on the old locomotive from the Hijaz Railway. I always said that when the kids were grown up I would go back and really see the museum, alone. It never happened.
