just like auntie Adeline

I never thought I'd be buying one of those big cans of olive oil like Auntie Adeline always had at her house. She was my father's younger sister, and a great favorite of mine. I see them and I think of her.

They're so big! I don't think my mother ever bought this much at a time. But it was half price, and what with the olive oil butter I'm making more of lately, the stuff does seem to be going a lot faster.  




Kind of iconic.

  2. I see plenty of salad dressing in your future. Olive oil is so handy and tasty. (I've come via Green Day.)

  5. That is the make of olive oil I use. I have often thought of buying a bigger one but have nowhere to store it. If it was half price it was definately worth it :)
    I'm visiting from Green Day.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  7. Good bargain hunting Lisa,
    We went to Bell yesterday to a workshop by Rhonda from "Down to Earth" and Olive oil is one of the main ingredients of her home made soap,she said there is a recipe on the forum for a simple 4 ingrediant soap and this is the one she makes all the time.I am going to make a batch next week as soon as I get some Coconut oil.
    Hope you have fun giving it a try sometime.

    1. Margaret, I don't know if I'll ever try making soap - it's the lye. Don't you have to do it outdoors?
