    Fermenting Olives

    My father's family owned a small olive grove/farm in Greece. He died when I was 10 years old and I never got a chance to discuss it with him. My mom did make trips to Greece to check up on it and would bring back olive oil made from the olives. That stuff was great!

    Fermenting Olives

    All of my Greek dishes that I have posted and shared here I learned from my YaYa and Mom. Wish I had paid more attention instead of goofing off as a kid. I would have learned how to make all of them. John

    I know several of you have messed up spines as well.

    I have had seven back surgeries since I was 35 years old. I am now 75. Last surgery was about 15 years ago which was a fusion of my L3 L4 L5 vertebrae. No problems since. The weather does not bother me either. Lucky I guess.

    Which MES to Buy?

    I am selling my Camp Chef Woodwind due to storage issues and am going back to a MES. Since my friend Bearcarver passed (I miss you pal) I cannot ask his advice as to which one to buy. Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to which model is the most reliable? Thanks guys, John
