my olive man is on vacation! ! you have no idea what a problem this is...i only have a handful of olives left! the "Marche Provincial" is just a few blocks away..a few mornings a week mom is there to do the shopping (i join her when i don't have class)...fresh produce, cheese, meat, bread, flowers...gorgeous stuff. and the best damn olives you have ever had...dozens of varieties and this particular one with olive oil and herbs provincial...oh man, i could eat them all day everyday. and the olive man is gone for two weeks or more! what to do?!?
the monsieur at the Tabac shop pulled out my brand when i walked in today after class...he didn't make me ask! that is quite a feat, a little victory. of course, i've been in there every day at the exact same time for 9 days, buying exactly the same thing. but it took mom a good part of a year to get the same response! (he's kind of crabby).
its the little things!
