We should have an annual Meyer Lemon Curd concocting day.
YES.
Also, my neighbor just mentioned that he has a gigantic olive tree dropping thousands of olives and do I want any?

Don't they have to be treated to be edible? I vaguely remember a whole Alton Brown episode on that.

Yes, they have to be brined.
We rented a villa in Tuscany that had some olive trees, and Barkley tried to eat one: it was not a success.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Talked to another former coworker today. Dude I linked to, what was convicted of felony fraud? Keeping his job. Plus, FCW can't discipline/fire any of the trainees because they want a good graduation rate.
Have I mentioned, Best Layoff Ever?

I think the easiest thing to do with olives is press them into oil, but I don't know how easy that actually is. I know my grandparents never bothered collecting the olives off their tree considering it too much trouble.

Meyer Lemon Curd sounds delightful.
I just busted open my lip with my laptop (moving it from the front seat to the back). Shit, that hurt.

Oh, ouch.
I gave myself a paper cut on my nose last week, futzing about with a bag of groceries in the car. Kind of embarrassing.

Erin, I've had some success growing spinach outdoors. but it really likes cold weather. I have tried to get a second planting in the summer & it never works as well.
I've only been on the board three years and I'm itching to flee to the suburbs where my house will be MINE and not 1/12th of a building co-owned by 11 other families.
Mine was a rental place, but people still crazy. So much less stressful to only have to worry about your own needs, budgets, and desires.
I am thinking about starting to look for a new place. The city are talking about widening the road I am next to from a 4-lane street to a 6-lane extension of the freeway that ends about a block away. I was always planning to try to sell up and move closer to downtown after about 5 years (It's been just over 4 now), but this is making me think I should sell sooner than later. However, my job also may be going to shit (we've been reorganized), so I'm not sure what I should do. I think need to do some strategic planning for my life.
