A new find

[Dib's]

At least it's new to me.

Lindsay Naturals California Green Ripe Olives.
They come in a can, they are green however they taste like a black olive.
They are very good.

I LOVE olives of any kind! Graber Olive House is close to me and their olives are TDF. They do mail order if you can't find them in your area. http://www.graberolives.com/

The Lindsay Olives made my grocery list, hopefully a local store carries them.

Love that site link to Graber Olives, they also have my beloved Medjool Dates/Olive combo box mmmmm

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sissy, Medjools are plentiful out here! There is a little place on the road to Palm Springs that makes date shakes. YUMMY!

You forgot fresh picked oranges and grapefruit. One of my houses out here had a beautiful olive tree. Graber's provided me with information on processing the olives. Extremely time consuming and labor intensive. Never did process any of those olives. They would probably have been delish.

I've been hearing about the weather back there. My bro had to travel to Columbus earlier this week and hasn't been able to get home due to storms. So far he's been sent to Cincinnati and Minneapolis. Still not sure when he will get to Omaha or Lincoln. Stay safe & warm!

When I lived in San Diego we had a lemon tree and a lime tree in the backyard. The guy to the right had grapefruit and the couple on the left had avocado trees. There was alot of passing going on in those backyards-LOL!

Oh Dibs, however did you manage to leave San Diego??????? I love it there!!! The house I live in now has Mandarin orange, lemon, grapefruit and regular orange trees. Lots of persimmon trees in this neighborhood as well as citrus. I have a LARGE lot and will be planting at least one avocado tree.

If you see Hadley dates, that is the grower by Palm Springs. They are top notch!

I am soooo jealous, all that wonderful fruit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell this girl has NO problems eatting her fruits and veggies?

[KeyWee]

Ok right .......... BACK to the olives I actually found them, and at WalMart of all places. Paid $1.88 for the can and that seems high (or no?). But they looked so good I had to try based on your recommend Di.
Wonder if my husband will like (or eat) them. He loves green olives but hates black so these should really confuse him heeeheee
