I could probably make a quasi-muffaletta out of the ciabatta rolls I'm making now, actually. I have ham, salami, provolone, and olives. Hmmmmm.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Glad to see that you're including olives. (waits for the anti-olive contingent to have their say)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
olive salad is different than olives!
just try brushing the bread with olive oil and you don't have to deal with actual olives!
I feel like I have more authority than usual, because I have made red beans and artichoke dip this week.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I forgot I had an 8:30 call this morning, until I saw... as I was logging on at 8:30!
My point is, I have not showered. Next call is in 40 minutes. I thought the nemesis might be on this next call and I could somehow shame him, but no.
Right, shower and dress. My poor dog-walker having to see me all pj'd up and crazy haired.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know I've been a muffaletta pedant in the past but these days there are no rules.
I do wish I had some olives, though. Just to snack on.

To be fair, I'm using olive tapenade from Kroger rather than real olive salad. I need to drizzle some olive oil over it to make it more authentic!
So, like, muffaletta sliders, Matt? Needs must when the devil drives. That doesn't sound like a terrible idea, actually, although that soft sweet bread would sure be different.
Yes, though just a singular slider, as it was just a test. The sweet roll really doesn't work that well with the ingredients (though they're great for salmon burgers with horseradish mustard!). I think things will improve dramatically once I get light, crispy sesame bread tomorrow.

But with olives I can make olive salad!
Probably not for lunch today though since these ciabatta rolls are on their third rise and won't be ready to eat until like 3pm.

We're now mid-June (they reevaluate every 2 weeks) buuuuut....leadership thinks it is likely we'll remain primarily/default wfh through the end of the YEAR.
Which I think is a responsible tack. But jesus, I really am trying not to think that far out For Reasons.

Our office person has ordered a bunch of supplies for when we do get back - hand sanitizer, wipes, gloves, etc., many back-ordered - and wants me to deal with the delivery ... since I'm not sure where the building loading dock is, or how to get a delivery person from there to the office (the entire building is on security - you need the fob to get into the building, up to the floor we're on and into the office), so it's going to be ... well, I'll think of it as an adventure! I can go into the inner workings of the building! right?
