Favorite olive oil?

Mine's the Extra Virgin from Costco. Gotta love the price.

1. Goya Spanish o.o.

*Great* Spanish taste. Very different from Italian or Greek. $3 or so for an 8.5 oz. bottle which is just the right size for us. I also remember a Spanish brand in a rectangular can with orange or/and red embellishments which I also liked very much. Zola or Nola or something like that. They make an organic version, too.

2. The Costco one is not bad, a great value. But I really enjoy Greek

olive oils. Right now I'm using a Minerva EV Olive Oil that I like very much. I read that Greek olive oil uses only Greek olives, but Italian olive oil uses olives from all over, even the US. I don't know whether or not that's true or even what it means (maybe it means Greek olives are fresher when pressed).

6. Hey, bastard ..., how'd the job interview go?

I hadn't heard.

7. It went well.

They're trying to decide if they can accommodate my salary requirements. This is killing me.
Thanks for asking.

8. Hm.

Sounds like you're spinning with anticipation. Makes perfect sense to me. What works for me in situations like this, to keep me from twisting myself into a Windsor knot, is to just surrender whatever I'm thinking and feeling. To a diety or the universe, or not, but just to surrender it. It's my experience that if I hold things too tightly, they won't be free to work for me. Just some unasked for help. Also, using the word 'yes' as a simple affirmation when you're in the spin.

9. I just received an email from HR.

Odd coincidence.
He had just spoken with the executive making the decision, and will definitely contact me on Monday. I'll take it as a positive sign.
I'm going out to hear the Mopaul Blues Band tonight. (Mopaul is a DUer; you probably know that.) And to hear the Elders tomorrow night.
Guinness and music help. A lot.

10. Sounds like a good time.

Alistar Crowley said, "When things get rough, that's the time for a big lunch and a good cigar." You go, my man. :toast:

11. I like that line.

Also, Hunter S. Thompson: "When the going gets tough, the weird turn pro."

12. Good non-sequiter from HT.

Crowley was in touch with how things work from the other side among all his wierdness.

13. They do have some similarities.

Well, gotta go eat cajun food. Later.

[Metta]

14. Later.

We're off for Chinese. No cajuns here, regretably.
