Olive you!

And I thought nothing fun ever happened around here...I was wrong! What could be more fun that an Olive Festival! Brad and I decided to check it out. It was actually a lot of olive oil tasting, which is good, we like olive oil, but my favorite was the balsalmic vinegar we tasted. We liked it so much we bought a bottle. But the best part was how you taste vinegar. I bet you don't know the proper way to taste all types of vinegar...


That's right...sugar cubes! You are supposed to put the sugar cube on a spoon, then drip some vinegar onto the spoon and the sugar cube soaks it up. Then you place the sugar cube in your mouth (NEVER chew!) and suck on the cube to suck all the vinegar out, then the sugar melts in your mouth, it was amazing! LOVE it!

Here are some other pictures from our trip to the festival:


This was the welcome arch of balloons


An olive tree, check out the size of those olives! It was a Spanish Olive tree, they had lots of different trees for sale.


Yes, believe it or not, they had olive oil ice cream, and I actually really enjoyed it!


Me as an olive, I just can't resist those cut-outs where you stick your face it them!



Just some of the yummy stuff we sampled.

"Olive" Olives!
